This was my first walk in the hills after my fall and broken ribs in late December so I was taking it nice and easy. I parked at the start of the good forest road leading to the banks of Loch a Choire and walked up to a junction. I took the right hand track, through a gate into the forest, still on a very good road. When the track began to descend slightly at a bend, the forest on the left became less dense and very easy to walk through. I found a straightforward route and came out on to the open hillside, covered in the usual deep heather and grassy tussocks.

I headed NW over to the summit and quickly reached the final ascent to a cairn, where I stood for a while enjoying my first view for some time.

I noticed another cairn on a top to the south of where I was so, just to be safe,I headed over to that where the views were a bit better.

There was a freezing wing blowing so it was just a case of retracing my route back to the car and back to Inverness for lunch.
