Easy but long track fr Keiloch to base of summit dome, then quite a clear path with some slippery fresh snow to the summit Trig Point, where no views, sadly. Easy jog back down to track...NorfolkPT2120/03/2024

From Keiloch CP. Used the red route clockwise to start. NB Where the orange and red routes diverge the red arrow is faded to orange. Very windy at the top. With Karen.ChrisR25/09/2022
Both Culardoch and Creag an Dail Bheag from Keiloch car park £3. Culardoch is just a lump, very easy with tracks almost all the way to the top. Strange greenhouse experimentation near by. Looks like someone's studying heather!Jhimmy11/07/2022

From Keiloch car park for a round of Culardoch, Carn Liath and Creag an Dail Bheag.rhalstead25/06/2022
Culardoch and Creag an Dail Bheag from Keiloch. Pleasant walk in in ever-changing conditions - sun, then clouds, then some drizzle, though calm down on the track and windy on the tops. Not the most exciting hills, but a good wee walk - 5h 32min total time.mproudfoot12/06/2022

Keiloch, up tracks through woods, path from high point of track to summit, very windy. Returned to track and descended to path west up Cairn Liath, on to Craig an Dail Bheag. Back over Cairn Liath to track and back to start.Flatfield18/05/2022

Cycled about 5 miles from Invercauld Estates walkers car park £3. Straightforward ascent on short heather with some trodden paths. Top was covered in cloud. Passed a young couple of walkers on bike but they were on the top not long after me.langskill26/06/2021

With L and no bikes -unlike most of the other 10 folk we met today bagging the 2 close Corbetts with their long approach tracks on this lovely sunny Sunday. Tony & Darren went off from the same busy car park for the wanted Ben Avon Munros instead (one with a bike, one on foot in running shoes for their approach track before re-joining each other). We all later (much later for them) met up back at the Ballater cottage which Tony had booked for the week -luckily the week before the Covid rule of 6 came in as we were 4 from 3 households which would not have been allowed.Chris Pearson06/09/2020

During a week in Tomintoul. With Smithy from the car park (£3) at Keiloch. Followed the RoW NE from just short of Invercauld House. Just before exiting the trees, put my sack down on a nest of quite gigantic ants! Took track all way to high point due W of Culardoch & then slanted up the final slope into a very stiff wind to the top. Swift retreat down to col, back along track for about 1km & then took an obvious path just past a small cairn to Carn Liath/Creag An Dail Bheag. Wandered over every lump & bump like a proper bagger just to be sure. Strangely not as windy as Culardoch. Then made a total mess of the descent by initially following the wall & then changing tack, heather bashing over to the outward track & back to the car.NotReallyABagger09/09/2018

Fabulous solo walk, with a major sting in the tail. Up through wonderful open scots pine woods, fluffy cumulus and blue sky above, ocassional interesting fungi, grass heads dancing in an ocasional light breeze. Long track north. Eight mountain bikers working with BP from 5 different counties struggle in low gear uphill. Cullardoch summiit 12.50. Across to Carn liath, many topped plateau with two tops 150/200m noth of the mrked highest cairn that look higher. On to newly re-confirmed Corbett Creag an Dail Beag. then contouring round the western side of Carn Liaths slopes en route to southern spur and SE to SIM Creag a'Chait. Before getting there, while contouring across a very gently angled slope boulder field, I experienced myself being conscious of feeling I was hopping across the boulder field fairly fast and feeling double edged, both happy with what I percieved as fairly good sense of balance, but also conscious of how easy it was for boulders to move under my feet ...but..but....bvegibagger18/07/2014

Alone. From Keiloch to the stable at Bealach Dearg and the summit of Culardoch. The descent to the stable was in very poor conditions – very strong wind blowing straight at me – hardly able to see anything at all – snowing. After a short rest in the stable I continued in better conditions along outward route. Snow lying at all levels.pwbellarby24/01/1993
