Climbed with Ben as part of White Mounth Circuit. | honey badger | 06/08/2023 |
Conachcraig, Lochnager and the 4 other White Mounth Munros from Bridge of Muick, 20 miles. | Gary Heath | 30/05/2023 |
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. | RufusHodge | 26/05/2023 |
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. | richard69 | 18/04/2023 |

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.
