After our long walk the previous day, one Graham seemed like a good idea. We parked by the start of the forest track which led us steeply uphill by the Allt an Utha initially, then we traversed flattish pathless ground towards our hill. We followed a deer track later on that took us above the steep slope, then contoured, dropping a bit, to gain the lower slopes of the hill and guess the best way round the crags. Several obviously false summits, with dips down to the start of burns and little lochans, then rising again. Finally there was a significant high point in the distance, and when we had worked our way over to it, it was obviously the summit. Late lunch again and more hills to identify.

In the middle, yesterday's hills, Croit Bheinn and Beinn Gaire
The Hare went South over the other top, and I retraced my steps.
