Mate and I did almost exactly this circuit a while back on a very windy autumn day. Truly marvellous route. No comparison with the quick dash up these hills from ski slopes. We said then that we'd have to go back and head north and east round the head of Caenlochan. One for the better weather in the spring/summer.

Nice one. Caenlochan might be worth a look in winter too, quite impressive eh?

Did much the same route - although we went over the Corbett Monamenach to drop down to Auchavan. Straighter line and saves walking the track to Tulchan Lodge twice.

I just couldn't be bothered with that hill - looked fairly uninspiring. But you're right it does make a straighter line

While your (rather churlish sounding) amendment to your route card claims that avoiding the drudgery of an extra hill is a timesaver your route is about 1.5km longer, compared to the direct route being 190m more ascent. Not much in it really. I think bemoaning rounded uninspiring heathery lumpen hills while describing routes in the Mounth is a bit ironic tbh.....kind of seems to miss the essence of what the area has to offer. ;)
