With Eve. 2nd summit of the day. Approaching from Lochnagar, this peak doesn't have much of a presence, although seen from the other side on our descent, it has a greater prominence on the Mounth (but still pudden-like) justifying its Munro status slightly more.RufusHodge26/05/2023
Lovely lunch spot on a nice day with Richard, Walkers and Tony G. After the two Tops SE on path. Onto carn an t Saigart Beag alone. Short grass and rocks with snow patches.Denise 18/04/2023
Parked at the Spittal of Glenmuick (£5 cash/card in machine). Took the track on the N side of loch and up to above the Falls of the Glasallt from where a stalkers path goes up the SE ridge to Creag a Ghlas-uillt. From there the walk around the top of Allt an Dubh-loch valley opens up - Eagles Rock, Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach, Carn an t-Sagairt Beag, Carn an t-Sagairt Mor, Fafernie, Cairn Bannoch, Cairn of Gowal, Creag an Dubh-loch, Broad Cairn - and follows the track back down on the S side of Loch Muick. Long day with a cold wind but wonderful views. With Gillian, Tony, Richard and Denise, although R&D split off at times with different peak objectives, meeting up again finally below Broad Cairn.richard6918/04/2023

With Nicky Creadland and Skye (her dog), we cycled up Glen Callater to the lodge. Then hiked up onto Carn an t-Sagairt Mor, my 182nd Munro, then north past some aircraft wreckage to Carn an t-Sagairt Beag, Munro Top. And clockwise around to Carn a' Choire Bhoidheach, we had a look over the north corries below The Stuc. Then contoured around the northwest slopes of the previous two hills, to rejoin the outward route. Now only 99 Munros left to go....chillyman808/10/2022
