Carn a' Chlamain and Carn a' Chlamain North Top from Old Bridge of Tilt. | JasonStark | 11/11/2023 |

From Blair Atholl campsite. Good path up the ridge via Faire Clach-ghlais, returned via Braigh Clais Daimh and Cuirn Mharanaich | Geoff Briggs | 09/04/2023 |
Revisit. #1 of 5 from Old Blair car park, Munro revisited then circuit of tops en route to HHB Braigh Clais Daimh | RHW | 09/04/2023 |
From Old Bridge of Tilt car park. Embarrassingly set off the wrong way so came back and headed up Glen Tilt. On the way up it was murky and wet with some moderate rain. Plenty of wildlife including a Red Squirrel. Luckily the summit cleared as I arrived to give views across these wild hills to the high Cairngorms in the distance. Including the wrong way at the start it was 17.3 miles in 6 hours 40 minutes. | isabelle | 24/10/2022 |
From Glen Tilt CP, bike to bridge opposite Balaneasie, then steepish path to join track which went almost to the summit. Used a couple of obvious short cuts on the track. | TRG318 | 13/10/2022 |
Backpacking over hills between Tarf and Tilt. Walked up Glen Tilt from Blair Atholl, then track and finally rough ground to Dun Beag. Continued directly to Dun Mor, then across to An Sligearnach and Braigh Coire na Conlaich. Continued to Meall Tionail, Conlach Mhor and Creag a' Chrochaidh. Then a steady climb to Carn a' Chlamain. Then the final section of tops, over Carn a' Chlamain North Top, Braigh Sron Ghorm, Aonach na Cloiche Moire, Braigh nan Creagan Breac. Descent S to Gaw's bridge. Some sunshine on walk min and walk out, on the tops mainly overcast with strong cold wind, didn't feel like August | RobertP | 06/08/2022 |

Bike/hike, fairly easy one to do with good weather but a bit cloudy on top but managed a few good pics when it cleared overall good day out on my own. | Kevthecat | 16/03/2022 |
3/3 Top c15m in clag. Glimpses of view. Windy, very high wind chill factor. Had first real break on summit, got v cold, walked out to van. | Rounsfell | 20/09/2021 |
Hired bikes and cycled to Allt Craooinidh, walked up, down via stalkers path to Forest Lodge and back to bikes. Fell off bike on way down but otherwise a lovely day. Hottest Sept day in 106 years. | tsharp | 08/09/2021 |
Via usual track having first cycled up Glen Tilt. Better to take the path which cuts off the big bend of the track, separating from it (in descent) about NN920754. | Mark Jackson | 22/08/2021 |
From the CP at old bridge of tilt, biked up to clachghlas, carn a chlamain repeat, carn a chlamain north top, braigh nan creagan breac, aonach na cloiche moire, braigh sron ghorm, meall tionail, conlach mhor, braigh coire na conlaich, creag a chrochaidh, creag loistge. | robertphillips | 14/08/2021 |
Cycled up Glen Tilt with Robin to Chlachghlas then R chose to cycle to L Tummel. Good path and sunshine | younggl | 18/07/2021 |
After over 20 miles doing Beinn Dearg and another 6 summits I decided to tackle this to finish the day, whilst in the area. This brought the day total to 32 miles walked from Blair Atholl. Unfortunately the weather beat me with a shower 15 minutes before the summit followed by the cloud moving in. Still good views most of the day and I was happy with a 1.30 ascent at this point in the day. | meltdiceburg | 10/07/2021 |
Carn a'Chlamain from Old Bridge of Tilt. | thekirkie pirate | 11/06/2021 |
Solo, quite a hot day. No bogs and path was bone dry. There was a lot going on at the Forest Lodge... loads of vehicles. One of the keepers said they were filming a Star Wars thing. Busy road up the Glen. Non-stop cars and minibuses. Fine day on the hill though. | Larry Groo | 01/06/2021 |
On foot from Glen Tilt car park - walk in via the upper western/northern path, and walk out via the upper eastern side of the glen. Good conditions and the easy terrain made for rapid progress - 5h 54min beginning to end. | mproudfoot | 18/04/2021 |
Cycled from Old Bridge of Tilt to Balaneasie, then up path to landrover track, followed that to summit, descended same way. With JAS. | kdbennett | 17/04/2021 |
Bike up glen; heading to check HHB entries | bertbarnett123 | 02/03/2021 |
Big day out! Parked at Glen Tilt car park and enjoyed a lovely walk up by the river. Headed up towards Carn a'Chlarmain with a little detour to Creag Loisgte, on to the Munro and its north top, keeping going onto Aonach na Cloiche Moire, Braigh nan Creagan Breac and Braigh Clais Daimh before continuing down to the floor of the glen and home. I'd imagine that navigation would be tricky with three non descript tops, but with clear skies, the views were incredible. 6hrs 40 31km | Nicky C | 01/03/2021 |
Long walk in up Glen Tilt from Blair Castle campsite | prwild | 26/10/2020 |

Today I got my 128th since August 2016, Carn a' Chlamain (963m). 
 
Parking at the Glen Tilt car park near Blair Atholl, I cycled up Glen Tilt to Gleann Craoinidh, where I left the bike and hiked up along a helpful track to the stony summit. There was a fair of buffeting from the strong winds, but that just meant there were no midges. 
 
I was only away from the bike for 3:30hrs, 5:10hrs all in. Mainly dry with a short light shower after the summit. | chillyman8 | 12/09/2020 |
Walk from road at Kincraigie (above Old Bridge of Tilt) through Leathad Mor and Dalginross Woods and up Glen Tilt. Via Auchgobhal, Marble Lodge, Gaw’s Bridge and Clachghlas and ascent via Faire Clach-ghlais, Grianan Mor to Carn a' Chlamain. Descent same in reverse. | raymooremanx | 09/08/2020 |
Great route up the Glen; it was long but pretty and I put the pace up. After wooden bridge I left the double track and ascended the steep path onto the spur. | dunx2005 | 21/07/2020 |
Long hike from Bridge of Tilt out to Carn a' Chlamain and back. | Tisteln | 18/07/2020 |
Jog up glen tilt with D and up and round to summit. Longer than expected. Snow and unexpected gales at the top, only just made it. | Rodge | 23/03/2020 |
From Blair Athol. Deep Snow above 300m. No visibility at the top | Huwel | 24/02/2020 |

Afternoon cycle up Glen Tilt to Forest Lodge, and walk to summit, with JMcd. Hail and snow, but midgies as well. Retracing the trip from 18 years ago was a definite sign how much I have slowed up, even now questioning if I actually got to the summit at all last time! | barnz48 | 27/04/2018 |
From Old Bridge of Tilt. Followed yellow trail markers along a riverside loop and through the rifle range to Gilbert Bridge. Along the Tilt to Gaws Bridge and up the SW ridge of Carn a'Chlamhain at Balaneasie. Once out of the shelter of Glen Tilt, a fierce SW wind blew away any notions of a tour of adjacent tops, and I settled for the summit and North Top only. Glen Tilt is delightful: on this occasion, I saw a heron in flight twice, dippers - each on its rock, and oystercatchers, a curious sight so far inland. | Nick Down1 | 01/07/2017 |
From Glen Tilt, ascent from Balaneasie, descent to Forest Lodge | kdbennett | 09/10/2016 |
Walked in the rain via Glen Tilt, very long, saw nothing at the summit then dropped down to Tarf Hotel Bothy for the night. | Chris Mac | 26/07/2016 |
From Old Bridge of Tilt MTB to bull dozer track then up and down the track. | rhalstead | 15/06/2016 |
Battled against the head wind up Glen Tilt on my bike. Ascended mindlessly up the easy zig zag path from Forest Lodge. Clear but very windy on top. The bike ride back was glorious, more like sailing than cycling, as I hardly had to peddle at all. Back at the car park for 11am. | mindlessflogger | 25/05/2016 |
Snowshowing Ring of Tarf with Rob Wight on Day 2. Low cloud, windy, but dry. | alexmaclennan | 01/04/2016 |
