As i decided to do this last minute i didn't do much research so missed out on the walkhighlands route and took the track just passed Auchmore farm. I followed the track before leaving it to head across to Spirean Beag where i eventually picked up a well worn path all the way to the summit. It was a reasonable walk for it being short with the walk over to Spirean Beag being on soft snow and heather. Once on the path it was easier going with the odd scramble up the rockier sections. It was quite windy once up on the ridge but i still managed lunch at the summit as it sheltered me well from the wind. I returned by the path then over to the track back to my start point. This was a great wee walk and one i'd easily do again.

Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.

Cheers a great wee peak indeed. Graeme, if you take Lucy remember that stile as there is no dog flap unless Lucy is like an cu and can jump through hoops
