Stayed at Braemar Y.H on Sunday night to walk to Ben Avon on the Monday. Arrived at the car park at Keiloch and got the bike out of the back and then cycled up the road past Alltdour into Gleann an t-Sluigain to about 1km before the ruin of Slugain Lodge which was nestled quantly in its own wee glen.

After locking the bike I set off north west then north into Glen Quoich along a path which just seemed to go on and on as you felt your were not gaining any height. Eventually I reached the junction where the large boulder of Clach a'Chleirich sits.
- The Sneck
From there headed north east up the narrow glen to The Sneck where the views opened out and at last real height had been gained. From there up the steep slope to the plateau then along to the summit tor and take in the views.

Came back the same route and picked the bike up and down near Altdourie passed many game birds.
Slightly disappointed in the walk as it was not what I had expected. The previous day I had walked Carn Bhac and Beinn lutharn Mhor in poor conditions and it was more interesting though becuase of the weather did not take any photos.
