We'll start the walk by heading up the road before taking the path north beside the Ledard Burn. It then turns northeast to the col between Beinn Bhreac and Creag a’ Bhealaich.
The track continues towards the summit with some zigzags on the steeper parts .. the summit is cairned, although a short distance away there is a Trig point.
We'll return by the route of ascent back to the cars at the layby.
