Cold, fierce S wind, patches of thawing snow, good visibility. Started at ski centre so it was quite easy to here...but continued to An Socach, which wasn't! | NorfolkPT21 | 18/03/2024 |
Interesting route from Rhiedarroch, good parking at old council depot just inside the track entrance. Up to gate before house entrance, path up to track, then ATV track to main hill track along Allt Coolah. Rough ATV track after ford, gets tedious, so direct line up coire to bealach E of Carn a' Gheoidh, then easy path to top. Back via Carn nan Sac, descent SE is very steep at first, then heathery deer tracks to good grassy ATV track down burn to W of Meall nan Eun and back to start. | Gill2 | 03/10/2023 |

Parked at Glenshee carpark, from The Cairnwell and along the ridge with the Gordons in superb breezy sunny weather. Descended north on ridge path to valley track below An Socach ridge and then up there. | Denise | 19/04/2023 |
Parked at the ski centre (£3 in the cafe or online with a printer). Up service track to Carn Aosda and Cairnwell, then out and back to Carn a Gheoidh and Carn Bhinnein. Heavy snowfall previous day already starting to thaw but down to about 600m. Cloud base improved during the day but limited views. With Gillian. | richard69 | 16/04/2023 |
