Obtained a lift to Clovullin, immediately north of the A861 and west of the ferry terminal at Corran in Ardgour. Headed onto the A861 and walked to and through the hamlet of Corran where a new ferry terminal was under construction.
Continued round the bay, passed a fish farm, and to just beyond the bridge over the Allt Coire na Cille.
Here left the single-track road onto a vehicle track through rough vegetation that had been cut including some of the bracken. The track led to the remains of an old stone building where crossed the Allt a’ Chleirich and headed uphill, north, across the rough vegetation managing to avoid the bracken.
It was a steep climb keeping east of the deep gorge holding the Allt a’ Chleirich. Higher up a few outcrops were worked round and further on into low cloud and drizzle which became heavier.
Once above the gorge turned north-west through some rocky ground onto the east ridge of Monadh Leathann where there was a stock fence not in great condition. The fence was followed west to the summit of this Tump visiting both highpoints although apparently the cairn was the highest but not obvious in the cloud.
Little point in hanging around in the cloud and heavy drizzle so descended by the upward route. The cloud base by this time had lowered to 180 metres. On reaching the A861 headed back along it and to Clovullin to obtain a lift back to the accommodation.
