Carn Gheoidh from the south.

 The south top ,Carn Mor, has just aquired a hideous new bulldozed road.

Nearly always done from the Cairnwell, with a path to prove it. A more entertaining day can be obtained by a southern approach. I have done this twice now,by the rather fine Glen Taitnaich and on this occasion up the south ridge, Unfortunately the bulldozer beat me to it and a diurty great road now follows the ridge to the foot of the final steepening before looping round to NO100753.

The ascent from the road is untaxing, but it was a very boggy descent to the Cairnwell road at Rhiedorrach. First time up, this was my starting point, it was still a farm back then.

A good day of clarity and some very good views of very colourful hills. As always I havent the faintest idea why every one slags them off. If they are that awful why are they always so busy?
