Carn na Saobhaidhe, via Dunmaglass
Carn na Saobhaidhe is the highest summit on the vast, sprawling peaty moorland that makes up the northern Monadhliath. A remote place, it can be approached from Coignafearn in Strathdearn, from Garthebeg, or via a bulldozed track which reaches right to the summit from Dunmaglass as described here. The walk up the ugly track can become tedious, and a windfarm is currently being constructed east of this route which can mean heavy lorries using the track. Due to the profusion of new tracks, carefully navigation is required - gps is useful.
Terrain
Landrover track throughout - a mountain bike could be used. The track crosses a burn four times near the final section.
Public Transport
None to start.
Start
Phone box at junction on B851 at NH 607244.
