Solo Beinn Iutharn Mhòr and Càrn Bhac from Inverey. Used the mtb as far as Altanour Lodge (just under 6mi, 200m ascent, ~50mins), then anti-clockwise route on foot - reached cloud-covered summit of Carn Bhac 1h 20m later. 1h 50m later reached (also cloud-covered) summit of Beinn Iutharn Mhòr (after a not-terribly pleasant ascent up loose rock). Steep descent back from 850m back down to around 650m (with great views over Glen Ey, now I was under the cloud)and then a often-disappearing path through the heather back over to the lodge. 4h 25min total time on foot. 35min ride back to Inverey resulting in a total car-to-car time of 5h 55min. | mproudfoot | 25/09/2021 |

I met Nicky Creadland at Inverey west of Braemar, to get the Munro of Carn Bhac (946m) and the adjacent Munro Top (920m). We biked up Glen Ey to the ruins of Altanour Lodge, but Nicky’s bike chain broke just before the ruins. There was low cloud from around 800m, with no views until we were descending from the Munro Top. The return route back down Glen Ey, was actually quite fast as Nicky used her now chainless bike as a scooter at times, 8hrs all in. | chillyman8 | 22/10/2020 |
