First of S.Cluannie Ridge. From track (old road) from Cluanie Inn to N. Leave track at ladder stile on sharp bend - NH 0931 0939. Not much path (if any) till second deer fence crossing (single step stile) approx. NH 0913 0911 (can be seen from below). Then path (or was it a stream?), leaving this at approx. NH 0759 0872 to head for NNE ridge Creag a'Mhaim. Joined very good path up ridge to top. Good route, not too taxing and cuts off a lengthy loop via the stalkers path up SE ridge.carole engel31/07/2020
