Pretty much the route as described in WH but in June it looks and behaves a bit different. I got to A'Bhuidheanach but rather than follow the route down the track, highlighted boldly with a quartzite cairn and a 6 foot stone arrow on the ground pointing down the track, I carried on till I could see the bottom of the path up to the top and walked straight towards it down the best part of the slope. It was grassy and easy going. Two small jumps and I was heading up to the top. Coming back I went along the track instead of going up the steep slope and cut over towards the second gully after some churned up ground, avoiding the steepest part of the climb back up. Tufted grass for the most part, a few diversions for cut up ground. The weather was not the best, dreich it is called, dark, windy, cold, damp. Didn't really stop at the top, just one photo, Poor visibility really, many munro tops were clouded over going up, just starting to clear as I was coming down as usual.
