Scooted round before the gale. From parking at pt 157, up the track, very squalid after much use for stalking, took the branch heading to the bealach between Beinn Bhreac and Mam Hael, goes a long way, then easy off piste to the bealach and up MH. Nice descent including a rare arete on a Graham, then easy climb to Beinn Molurgainn. Easy but complex descent to pt 490; gate in deer fence, just follow it SW and you'll see it. After pt 490, the going is f*** dreadful through long tussocky grass, steep too. Even the quad track above the river is horrible, though better after the bridge. Then a tedious trudge back up to rejoin the outward mucky track. Only 2 more Grahams to go, thank goodness, and those are the last 2 soggy ones - even better. | Gill | 29/10/2022 |

From the small layby at point 157 on the B road. Work ongoing to improve the grassy track. Very beefy but well scattered cattle lower down, easily avoided. Steady plod to 550m contour, then skirted round to the col at 620m, then to the summit. | Owen B | 23/08/2022 |
Room for 2 cars off road just below high point. Track opposite (wet in places) goes up to gate in fence below Beinn Bhreac. | nicolajane | 10/08/2022 |

Ascended newish stony track which starts near Pt145 around 200m beyond forest edge. Onwards after Beinn Bhreac summit to graham summit of Mam Hael, then Beinn Molurgainn. Returned south-westwards along ridge of latter to bridge at confluence of rivers which become River Esragan. Followed fence on North side of that river, necessitating a climb of around 100m, to Pt157 on minor road. | willyross | 15/05/2022 |

Parked in the layby near the 157m high point on the B845 opposite the gate and track entrance to Beinn Bhreac. Took the route as per the SMC Graham's and Donald's route, easy ridge up to Beinn Bhreac (Simm) mainly on a track, then around the ridge onto Mam Hael, up to Beinn Molugrainn, dow the ridge then over a deer fence (easily crossed at a point it was collapsed) over to the complex ground, taking in the 578m HuMp (both the 1:25k and 1:50k tops), then keeping to largely the higher ground to the col between Meall Biorach, over another deer fence and straight up the ridge to the summit of Beinn Mheadonach over the rocky cleft. Descended down to pt 619, then headed down the ridge over rough ground at the bottom to cross the river, then over a bridge, and just up the hill a small way took a path that traversed through the woods above the River Esragran back to the car. 11.2 miles, 3735ft climbing, out 8hrs in total (Grahams book suggests 6hr 30mins walking time).

From Beinn Bhreac. Very gentle descent and re-ascent, mostly on grassy slopes. Easy going. | KeithByTheC | 02/05/2022 |
