Hi... didn t take the camera.... weather wasn t too great. Parked the car at Attadale Gardens car park and from there an excellent land rover track goes all the way to Beinn Dronaig Lodge and beyond. We took a direct line once we crossed the bridge over the Black Water and contoured toward the shoulder of Carn Poll-eisg(670m) and from there its still 2km to the summit passing little knolls and lochans so could be quite confusing in misty weather. Returned by the same route. Hope this is of some help : )

Hi heatheronthehills, good track to cycle with mountain bike all the way to the lodge and beyond, did it with my daughter when climbing Lurg Mhor, it will save you lots of time, honest! :D
