From Glen Banchor west. Then NW up boggy track in rain before ascending grassy ramp to col north of Carn Dearg. Exceptionally windy on ridge, so didn’t go south to the MT. Continued in lessening wind with great views, easy terrain, north along ridge over various tops to Carn Sgulain. With the Walkers. | Denise | 06/10/2023 |

Very wet underfoot and gale force winds initially on Carn Dearg (hat blown over the cliffs) but easing later with cloud lifting. With Gillian and Denise. | richard69 | 06/10/2023 |

Parked at the end of Glen Road then followed the track all the way to the grouse butts in Gleann Ballach. Once the Allt Fionndrigh was crossed on a rickety bridge the track became extremely wet!. From the butts found a small path that led to the summit, the path managed to avoid the worst parts of the bog. Route back the same but went over Creag Liath. | garyhoney | 21/08/2023 |

A lollipop route from the car parking area at the end of the Glen Road, Newtonmore on a lovely warm day - but plagued by insects (it was flying ant day; spent most of the outing with them crawling over me).

Solo round of Càrn Dearg, Càrn Sgulain and A'Chailleach from parking spot in Glen Banchor. 7.15am start with headtorch. 
 
Circuit clockwise to get the long walk in out of the way, Quite a lot of bog encountered befoer the 250m pull up to the top of Càrn Dearg. Less bog up on the plateau, sometimes squelchy sections of peat, and sometimes frozen, with the occasional patch of icy snow to circumvent, so it was slow going at times. 
 
Dry weather, but bitterly cold wind up top. Long plod over the plateau before arriving at Carn Sgulain - there was a group of 3 ladies at the summit, so I said hello, but has no plans to stop at the top, so tapped the summit and headed over to A' Chailleach before the long descent. 7h 9min time. | mproudfoot | 15/01/2022 |
