| Cycled to Derry Lodge and then walked up Glen Derry and climbed Beinn a' Chaorainn and Beinn a' Chaorainn Bheag from Lairig an Laoigh. Returned to Derry Lodge via Beinn Bhreac. | geoffh12 | 21/09/2023 |
| Circuit with camping from Linn of Dee taking in tops on E side then W side of Glen Derry. Climbed Meall an Lundain from south, trackless terrain, continued along ridge to climb Beinn Bhreac and Beinn Bhreac West Top. Crossed quite boggy ridge to climb Beinn a' Chaorainn Bheag, bypassed Beinn a' Chaorainn itself on descent to high point of Lairig an Laoigh. Steep climb to Stob Coire Etchachan, and easy ground to Beinn Mheadhoin SW Top and the excellent vantage point of Stacan Dubha. Descended to Loch Etchachan and climbed Creagan a' Choire Etchachan, across to Sgurr an Lochan Uaine. Bypassed Derry Cairngorm on way to Little Cairngorm and then Carn Crom. Descent to Derry Lodge and back to Linn of Dee. Quite cold biting wind for much of route but views generally good with most summits reasonably clear for much of the time. | RobertP | 30/08/2023 |
| Ochils Mountaineering Club Meet at Muir Cottage, west of Braemar for the Easter Weekend. On Saturday 8th April, I cycled with Clare Andrews from Muir Cottage to Derry Lodge. Then we hiked up to Beinn Bhreac West Top (928m) Munro Top, then east onto Beinn Bhreac (930m) Munro. Long slog north across the plateau, saw some evidence of voles, then onto Beinn a' Chaorainn Bheag (1016m) Munro Top, followed by Beinn a' Chaorainn (1080m) Munro. Finding a safe descend route into Glen Derry took a little bit of time, but once the path was found it was just an awfully long walk back to the bikes at Derry Lodge and cycled home. 10:20hrs for a 30km day, I was thoroughly knackered, spent Sunday sitting in a cafe 😮‍💨 | chillyman8 | 08/04/2023 |

| With Rhona Fraser. From Linn of Dee. After the main top of Beinn Bhreac and the West Top we proceeded north to Beinn a' Chaorainn. It was mostly easy going, but some soft snow up the final slopes. We had discussed on the approach the possibility of including Beinn a' Bhuird, originally “for another day”, but we realised it was possible for today. We took off crampons and proceeded to Beinn a' Chaorainn Bheag before continuing to Beinn a' Bhuird. | pwbellarby | 17/02/1996 |
