Horseshoe of Girron Burn, as described in SMC Grahams guidebook.davidpettit8414/10/2023
Plenty of space to park at Girron track entrance by the A822. Very straightforward up the pleasant grassy track to the high point, then straight up. Then on to Meall Reamhar.Owen B26/04/2023
Unfinished business from last year when I only summited Meall Reamhar. Amulree, along road, up farm track then onto hill before I reached the top of the road. Continued over Creag Gorm and then back to track and Amulree.langskill03/02/2023

3/3 Biked up from Girron road end, walked from high point. Cold, cold breeze, icy puddles, smattering of snow on ground. Big muir burn over at loch. Rounsfell25/11/2021
Circuit of tops from Amulree.thekirkie pirate17/11/2021
loop from the end of the track, space for one car, otherwise Amulree isn't far. Round of 5 hills, Creag Bhiorach, Creag Ghorm, Meall nan Caorach, Meall Reamhar, Creag Liath. good track to start and lots of animal tracks to follow. a bit rough going from the last top back to the path, but not too bad. 11km in 2.5hrsNicky C14/11/2021
Mountain biked in from Girron up the highest point on track. Couple of pushes on the way but very rideable even in the wet we had overnight. Came NW then W to the top. Cloudy so no views. V steep descent on heather to the col between the 2 Grahams via wire fence.robphys23/10/2021
From Meall Reamhar, following fence line. Descent via Creag Ghorm, track passing Girron & back to Amulree VH.MichaelF28/09/2021

With Creag Ghorm & Findowie Hill. From Little Glenshee.duchally13/12/2019
Meall nan Caorach and Meall Reamhar from Amulree village hall car park. Given the low cloud and damp conditions, easiest-looking out-and-back routes taken, rather than a circuit that would have had merit in better conditions.

From Amulree, cylced down A822 to Girron track, then along track to ca 1km past Girron, continuing S to ridge of Creag Liath, along to Meall Reamhar (an unpleasent double electric fence along much of this), descended steeply NE to track then directly up Meall nan Caorach, NW to Creag Ghorm, descending W to track, return to Girron and Amulreekdbennett05/10/2019
A very pleasant short round from the A822 track entrance to Girron Farm. Along the track to the col, up flowery slopes to Meall nan Caorach, a marshy detour to Findowie West Top, back to the ridge at Creag Ghorm, along to Creag Bhiorach and down to the track at the gate 1 km S of the farm.Nick Down107/07/2019
A much better walk than it looks from the roadside. No problem parking at the end of the track to Girron. Up the track to just before the final steepening before the bealach and cut across to climb the N side of Meall Reamhar on easy grassy sheep tracks. Down along the fence and up to Meall nan Caorach. Easily down the NW spur to the track. Great to be back in Perthshire on these nice grassy hills with so many wild flowers hidden in the grass.Gill03/07/2019
From Meall nan Caorach return over Creag Ghorm and down to the track and back to the start.smocks and denims27/03/2019
Starting along the farm track then cut diagonally up to top of Meall Reamhar, across to climb steeply to its twin, Meall nan Caereach, along the ridge to Creag Gorm and back to the track.dickscroop03/01/2019
Meall nan Caorach (NN 929339) S/F NN 903356 Hot dry summer day with little cloud. Another little hill chosen for that reason. Felt very tired after what should have been an easy ascent.John Young22/06/2018
Easy round including the neighbouring Graham from Amulree. A cold and overcast Mayday.Roblex01/05/2018
in horseshoe from A822 Galltywenallt25/04/2018
With Dave Roeder. Parked on A822 by entrance to Girron (10:00). Crossed stream before farm (I fell in!), followed track to wall which blocks it and then ridge to top before crossing bealach to Meall nan Caorach. A formidable double electric fence is under construction which will apparently extend over both summits. From Meall nan C followed ridge for abt 1k before descending to track in valley. Finish 13:50. Chilly and windy with some sun.dbb24/04/2018
With Meall Reamhar, using the valley track between the two then back to watch Grand Prix (oh well)nickywood116/07/2017

Solo. Using track that goes past Girron. Much work hereabouts in connection with Beauly - Denny power line. From col between Meall Reamhar and Meall nan Caorach to summit of Meall Reamhar keeping close to fence. Back down to col and on to Meall nan Caorach and Creag Ghorm. There is no feature at highest point of Creag Ghorm with a cairn 100m further N which is lower.pwbellarby24/05/2015

The entrance to the track was widened last year by pylon workers, and so there is plenty of car parking space there. There is still lots of wire lying around on the hills.Pete R07/02/2015
