From Glen Tilt Carpark at Old Blair, walked along Glen Tilt to Gilberts Bridge and New Bridge, following the good path all the way to the summit of Beinn Mheadonach. OK path continued to Carn a Chiaraidh, though we lost it in places. Elrig ic an Toisich had less of a path, but with mossy summits and little heather, walking was easy. Contoured round the N end of Beinn Dearg to Beinn Gharbh and the cairn easily found. Straightforward climb to Beinn Dearg. We descended off the almost due S path (the E most of the few) for 2km before heading almost due E over peat hags to meet a track that ran SE to Beinn a Chait. After the summit we were down heather and grass until we reached the path just N of Elrig. A smaller path took us directly to the summit. Descent W to again meet a path that led us over Allt Slanaidh then a 5km track walk back to the car park. 32km, 1300m climb 8 hrs walking. Very dry underfoot. Fab circuit avoiding endless tracks to remote hills. | Lynnebe | 13/09/2023 |
