From Invercauld car park. Done as part of a 2 day trip, camped by Quoich Water. Ascended up good path past Carn Fiaclach up to South Top, then around to North Top and Cnap a' Chleirich. Still some patches of snow in the corries. Descended to The Sneck and returned via Glean an t-Slugain. 38km.PiranhaFish04/07/2022
Cycled into Inchrory from Cock Bridge then a circuit of Ben Avon and Beinn a'Bhuird plus all tops. Quite a long day - 9 hours walking. Mind you, Sue was doing a Rigby Round, so I had lots of time!Geoff Briggs04/06/2022

Solo bike and hike from Keiloch taking in Ben Avon and Beinn a'Bhuird - ride into Gleann an-Slugain starts well, but gets progressively rougher - the last half-mile before the ruins was a bit too rough >.< Did anti-clockwise route from there - using the excellent path all the way along to the route up to The Sneck and hit up Ben Avon first - nice wee light scramble up the summit tor. The pull up Beinn a'Bhuird from The Sneck was a bit of a gravelly slog, and the plateau above was not particularly interesting - much like the pile of stones marking the (North) Summit of Beinn a'Bhuird -the 8th highest mountain in the UK deserves better! Was glad to get back to the bike though I walked out the first half mile again, as it looks barely rideable. Total time 7h 5mins.mproudfoot03/07/2021

Round of Beinn a'Bhuird & Ben Avon from Invercauld on a warm & sunny day solo. Followed the track along Gleann an t-Slugain past the ruin & then up S spur of Beinn a'Bhuird taking in a couple of tops for a fine summit view. E down over Cnap a'Chleirich to main summit of Ben Avon. Then S visiting other tors, Carn Eas & Creag an Dail Mhor before passing over Carn Eag Dubh to rejoin the outward route. Most of Ben Avon plateau was very easy going helped by the dry conditions.NotReallyABagger05/09/2001
