Descended from Carn Meadhonach on ATV tracks/cut sections of hillside, then up over Carn Tuadhan and round to the summit. Some deer tracks over heather and peaty ground. Descended over Cath Dubh to the track above the Water of Ailnack. Awful, tussocky ground on the descent, but great views over the river gorge for lunch. Track back past Delnabo to the car park.LizH23/01/2022

We parked at the entrance to Dorback Lodge and took the track above the Allt Mor, passing a spectacular sand martin colony and being passed by a Sea eagle, equally spectacular! A side track got us some way up Carn na Farraidh North Top, then it was animal tracks through the heather to the summit and on to its parent summit. Back down to the track and along to Carn Ruadh-bhreac before u-turning up a newer section of track to half way up Geal Charn Beag, then more relentless heather to Geal Charn itself. We continued NW to take in Carn na h-Ailig, descending to Upper Dell and back to the camper. A hot, heathery traipse of around six hours.summitter16/07/2021

From Dorback, with its unfriendly no-parking, turning circle sign. No worries, there's room on the grass verge. Along the track, then up a branch track towards Tom na Fianaig. ATV track continues part way up to pt 656, then short heather. Becomes standard soft vegetables on the way to Carn na Farraidh. Massive hags at the summit. SW to pick up ATV track then direct descent to valley track on faint path. On to Carn Ruadh-bhreac, an easy stroll on short heather, good views. Bored with the strong wind, so returned down the track.Gill08/09/2020

From Carn Meadhonach, descended Breac Leitir then ascended to Carn Tuadhan then up to summit. Turning a bit wintry. Plenty of deer and grouse here.187lenny10/03/2019
From Dornoch Lodge a straightforward round of Carn na h-Ailig, Geal Charn and over to Carn na Farraidh and back down track. Easy going all the way. Fourth consecutive walking day and this was first time I touched snow, a 3m wide band on descent from Geal Charn. Not what I expected on New Year's Day.dickscroop01/01/2019

Solo. From road end just before Dorback Lodge. Used track SE. Where track is nearest summit of Carn na Farraidh I struck up hillside to reach that summit. There is a small cairn and the top of a peat hag that vie to be the highest points. Continued to Carn Ruadh-bhreac, Geal Charn and Carn na h-Ailig.pwbellarby29/09/2012
