This linear route starts at the Red Deer Range on the Queen’s Way with a gentle climb on a forest road before reaching open ground on the slopes of Millfore Hill. The route passes the Coo Lochans on its way to the top of Meikle Mulltaggart (612m).

A steepish climb leads to the summit of Cairnsmore of Fleet (711m) – the high point of the day.

The descent to the pick up at Muirfad is by the well defined path with its spectacular views of the Cree Valley.
