Second hill of the day was just a short drive away, Coiliochbhar Hill. We parked up at a forestry track leading into Cushnie forest and followed the track through the trees. Through a gate we crossed a more grassy area before passing through another gate into a younger forest where there has been some work going on. The track becomes fainter as it leads through the smaller trees, reaching a section of open moorland. There is a cairn along here, but this isn't the summit and interestingly Moss paid no attention to it on the way up, perhaps she knew it wasn't the right one! To reach the summit we continued along the track to reach the next batch of trees. A faint path leads through the woods which clearly has enough people using it to have had diversions created around fallen trees. Once on the other side the summit cairn was in sight just a short distance away.
