| Up from Lundie to Carn Ghluasaid on good stalkers path then over Creag a Chaorainn and on to the large cairn and wind shelter on Sgurr nan Conbhairean. Super view point but midges were terrible so I didn’t hang around on to Sail Chaorainn. Summit looked like rocky rib as opposed to the cairn. Then walked out to Carn na Coire Mheadhoin. Visited the cairn but this was clearly lower than the unmarked high point. Returned and took bypass path around Conbhairean to summit of Drochaid an Tuill Easaich. Managed to have lunch here as sun was out and midges had disappeared. Descent down Meall Breac. Dip in stream and walk back on old military road. Time taken 7 hours 5 minutes for 12.5 miles and 4278 feet of ascent. | isabelle | 02/06/2023 |

| With GGWC, recovering from foot op and illness so my first hill for a long time. Glorious hot sunny Highland day with not a cloud in the sky and fantastic views in every direction. Cloud inversion towards Great Glen. Ptarmigan near top. Fantastic day. Makes you feel glad to be alive and blessed to live in this part of the country. | Maggie | 26/05/2018 |
| First Munro of 3 Munros & 4 Munro Top group. Followed path up from A87 west of bridge over Coire nan Clach. Went to SE cairn first and cairn to NW on edge of corrie looked higher, also large fixed rock between cairns looked to be a candidate. From NW cairn SE cairn looked lower. Visited all three so bagged for sure. On now to Creag a'Chaorainn. | mntainman | 30/10/2017 |

| Done as a part of a 3 munro day with Hazel and Gordon. Turned into a bit of an epic when wind tripled in strength, visibility vanished and planned descent route turned out a lot tougher than planned thanks to the full winter conditions. | jonbowyer | 03/01/2015 |
