Parked in one of the wee laybys on the A85 just to the east of Tynreoch. Good tracks all the way until NN710215 where I left the track and headed uphill just to south of some trees. Followed a stream then up to the summit of Mór Bheinn. Descended SW round Tom a'Choin then stayed to the north side of a deer fence down to the track - enough space to walk between the deer fence and the trees. Had to cross a deer fence once clear of the trees to get to the track. Headed west to get to the NE ridge then up to Beinn Dearg at 707m. This isn't the true summit. Headed off in a SW direction to get to the 708m true summit - about an extra 3.4km and 200m ascent round trip. Returned to the 707m summit then down to the track. Encountered another deer fence so opted to follow it west towards the Allt Ghòinean then north - became apparent that I wasn't going to be able to access the track so climber the deer fence then headed uphill through a felled area to get to the track then walked back to the car.
