After my long day yesterday, I wanted an easy leg-stretcher not too far from the Torguish B&B. I had read about possible access issues but encountered no problems except for a shitey smelling dog pound with shitey, barky smelling dogs. The land rover track takes you all the way to the plateau but from there to the summit is an extremely boggy trump over odd moss. Highlights before the summit are the hunting lodge, which is very dry inside and the total solitude as you walk towards the top. Once at the summit and the surprisingly large double cairn and trig point, the views over the main Cairngorm range, Ben Rinnes and the Moray Firth are excellent and it's a nice place to sit and consider life and its whims. After a few minutes, a cold wind bit deep before I descended straight off the summit South back to the track, avoiding any bog. Back at the car within 3.5 hours and a most enjoyable morning out.
