Parked at Balsporran Cottages. Circuit of Geal Charn, Bruach nan Lomairean, A'Mharconaich, Beinn Udlamain, old Sgairneach Mhor, Sgairneach Mhor, Sgairneach Mhor E Top and the Sow of Atholl. Prepositioned second car at the road to take us back to Balsporran Cottages to save the 4km cycle path walk. Blustery but generally clear and an enjoyable walk. With Gillian, Denise, Tony and Zoe and meeting Bernard and Sarah on some of the tops.richard6903/10/2023

Round of Sgairneach Mhor, Beinn Udlamain and A' Mharconaich from A9 Layby 79. Excellent route but I struggle to understand why this is classed as a hill, having almost no distinction.TRG31823/04/2021

Anticlockwise loop from layby 79 on a9 via B&B then up! All tops in this area except the boar. Couldn't face it after the steep ascent and descent from the sow. Just under 7hrs including walk inNicky C24/08/2020

GFE refused to go to this top as he was too busy trying to pull a shell out of the primary summit's trig point. DTL and I had to go it alone therefore.Fionalevey04/05/2019
