09 From where you last saw Sandy, the ground drops down into the saddle between Benniguinea and Cairnsmore of Dee. As you can see above there is quite a steep drop on your right as you go down here (where the trees are at the bottom right corner of the picture). So keep to the left and you will find a track of sorts which will take you all the way to Cairnsmore. You will also find loads of magic blaeberries (the Scots word for bilberry) to munch - as much as I have come across anywhere in these hills (see picture below). You can see the A712 down in the valley this side of the woods on the left of the picture - known as The Queen's Way.
