an easy Corbett!
start at the layby where just off the road heading to the farm!
go down the hill and over the bridge to the farm! follow the hill route marker taking you over the back of the farm and to an old set of kennels!
my advice take the new road over the bridge as aposed to following the grassy slopes! this track leads you up to a small dam just after a gate!
then follow the grassy slopes up over meall garbh and on to the Corbett about another 1km. it is boggy at times but easy walking
trace you way back down the same way!

3 hours PDQ . Try it in mist with the peat hags full of soft snow and the top well nigh impossible to find: took me that time just to get up :lol: :lol:

I also did it on a snowy, misty day. It was surprisingly busy, because several teams heading for Meall Ghlas had just blindly followed the first folk on the hill that day, and ended up on Imirean instead! :roll:
