Itinerary description
There is free ample car park at the start, right at the end of the public road.
These two munros are usually approach from the north, getting to More first. I decided to go from the south, a much nicer road.
The way back, instead of retracing my steps, I went west to get the track back to the farm and the car park. That section, from where Binnein and More meet, down west, is very boggy and there is no path. Anyway, it is fun, though it requires good care.
I'm setting this as moderate not because of the ascent, which is relatively light all the way, with a very clear path to both munros, but because of the descent. If you decide to follow your own judgement on the path of the decent, just one recommendation: keep on the west side, so you don't have to cross the river further down.
