With Rhona & Struie. You can tuck yr car away from the gateway at ref 092530. Precede up the hydro track between the two sets of woodland plantation. Once clear of the easternmost, we went straight up the slope to wide ridge and hooked a right for an easy climb to Beinn na Feusaige. Sometimes hummocky traverse to the second Fiona/Graham Carn Breac, from where there are fantastic views (on a beautiful, still, clear skyed late autumn day). Make our way back along the ride to the top of a marked on OS, but basically non existent stalkers track – this does, once dropped into the valley, meet up with an actual stalkers track. This eventually meets up with the end of the hydro track at a dam and an easy walk back to the carDampandDusty25/11/2023
Anticlockwise circuit of the 2 Grahams. Felt a bit of a slog but redeemed by views to bigger hillsdaviemore08/07/2023
From the A890Andrew Simmons27/06/2023
Solo. From the start of a section of old road on A890 at NH090530. There's a locked gate so you can't drive on to the old road. Followed the track (gravel track to small hydro dam, then a rather rough track), and later on a path to Coire Crubaidh. Up to the broad NNE shoulder of Carn Breac, cutting the corner so not reaching the 435m col, and on to the summit outcrop and a short distance further to the trig point/shelter. Back same way. A fine day with excellent views.pwbellarby13/05/2023

OMC Meet at Inver Croft, west of Achnasheen. I dropped off Andy Whitehead and I headed off for the clockwise up Collie Bhan into the mist. Great views from the windshelter of Beinn Liath Mhor. Descended before Meallan Mhic lamhair back into the glen and out along the good track, 05:05hrs.chillyman828/01/2023
From the track between the plantations, parked by gate. Couldn't find the fork, path too indistinct so made for the bealach. Back along the ridge E over the Tump to the other Graham. Fine outing.Galltywenallt26/10/2022
From Loan. Good track to hydro then intermittent stalkers path to old dwellings. Turned N here to col at NE end of hill and then SE to summit and interesting trig point. Mist, drizzle, occasional views. 2 hours. Visited other high points just in case!MichaelF23/05/2022
From Lone,. god track in, ad libbed on way up to ridge on bits and pieces of pat then easily along ridge to Carn Breac and similarly back along ridge to Beinn na Feuysaige. Only slight difficulty was a very steep descent, sometimes through heather etc to get back to track but nt a real problem.dickscroop01/05/2022
Beinn na Feusaige (G) & Carn Breac (G) from Loch SgamhainHuwel14/01/2022
Mapped track/path from east (spot height 166 with room to park off road). Path intermittent but helpful. Did not appear to climb towards spot height 435 but terrain not difficultcarole engel09/07/2021
Parked at Loan and up boggy track. Feusaige after. Windy, constant rain, zero views. Rounsfell04/10/2020
Circuit of Beinn na Feusaige, Carn Beag, Meallan Mhic Iamhair, Carn Breac (including the new summit location, probably also visited previously), Aonach Dubh. Spell of rain then clearing and excellent views to Torridon.RobertP11/07/2019
Loan circular. Approached via head of Coire Crubaidh before heading E along the main ridge.Smudge10/05/2019
Re-ascended from the next to the ruined hut at NH 0625 5096 up and over to the new GR because it was not mentioned in the diary entry for 10/11/2000. On sight: probably done it. Slightly shorter but definitely better route descended down the neighbouring spurr to S to the road at NH 0581 5058. Spent the night at Gerry's for the first time. Weird. SOTA guy doing the same, thank the Fates.Eddie28/02/2019

Standard clockwise circuit of the two Grahams. Straightforward, good going after the dry spell. Good views, though cloud base about 900m over Torridon, breezy, but forecast showers stayed away.Owen B14/07/2018

Double Marilyn day with Jon Glew and Steve Lewis. Parked at gated entrance to old road off A890 walking towards 166m spot height and marked milestone that we could not find. Followed good track north of Allt Coire Crubaidh almost to the new dam. track becomes a muddy ATV track running slightly to south of mapped track disappearing completely, maybe easier to find if no snow on ground or heavy snow shower making visibility difficult. Took an easterly route to gain height before heading SW aiming to avoid joining main ridge until about NH 04800 53264. Continued to the SW to find frozen trig pillar enclosed on 3 sides by equally frozen shelter. Cold wind but beaytiful views all round of may fin Torridon Munros to the north and Monar Forest Munros to the south.mntainman09/02/2018
From Glen Carron, parking at old loop in road near 166m spot height. With Steves Smith and Lewis. Good vehicle track to the dam; rough heathery ground thereafter. Lovely winter conditions. On to the neighbouring Graham with the almost Highland 5 in between.jonglew09/02/2018
A nice hill, climbed after Beinn na Feusaige. Very easy going compared with the connecting ridge/bog. Found the descent path from the bealach, it's good at first, but soon disappears, then reappears along the valley, improving the lower you get. Got a lift back from the hydro dam from a fellow MarHoFer. [Note, I definitely went over the high point even when it wasn't official].Gill21/12/2017
From Feusaige, descend to ruined stone cottage beside river, track runs past it, bit indistinct at first. Warm, sunny, cold unrelenting wind, good views. Summit location changed 16/1/19. Checked my log, gone over it on the way back.iangalbraith08/05/2017
Via Aonach Dubh, then on to Beinn na Feusage.NormanW16/04/2017
Along high line from Feusaige. Gale and spots of rain on summit. Tracks down to Glen Carron shown on map indistinct and near impossible to follow, descent mainly on deer tracks.Topographer5719/08/2016
Track up the valley then deer tracks to bealach and along ridge to the top.jenx19/08/2016
Climbed Carn Breac and BnF together from roadside parking. Can access old road but have to drive through a lockable gate. Hydro scheme ongoing, good track a short way up glen, then old path poor at first then improves. Branch up into coire can be followed further than maps show. Drag out to the Breac, then back over tump to skirt Lochan to north on tiring ground. Steep up to top where pleasantly met Jonathan de Ferranti. Circuit in about 4hrs.nordicstar19/08/2016
(cont fr B na Feusaige) Avoided intermediate top on S (better to go over). Followed long broad ridge to summit (14:35); trig pt in shelter. Continued S and then E along Coille ridge back to car (16:45). Good day with good views, esp to S.dbb19/05/2015

Carn Breac NH 044530 S/F NH090530 Cold strong wind, sunny spells with very heavy showers. Cloud 3000'.John Young01/05/2009
Parked on A890 in wide entrance gateway to S. Over a deer gate, good track between 2 forests to its end then peaty path for a mile, climbing steadily. Over dry grass between heather and boulders to 1500' ridge. Light drizzle. Long 1 1/4 mile on wide ridge on short dry heather. Many cairns and to top at 11.10. Moss covered column with FB removed Stout stone wall around 3 sides - ideal for today's strong cold NW wind. to Iamhair.arranc12/06/2008
