Ben Wyvis and all tops with John from Ben Wyvis car park. Followed usual route up to An Cabar via the excellent path, then across to Glas Leathad Mor/summit - only the very top plate of the trig was visible due to the covered being covered in a thick layer of snow. From there we headed N towards Tom a' Choinnich, but instead of ascending to the summit, we contoured to the E to then head around the broad ridge to munro top Glas Leathad Beag (via it's S top). Returned back the way we cam to ascend Tom a' Choinnich then headed WSW down the rough slope to reach Allt a' Garbh Bhaid, which we followed through the marked forest to a track which we then then followed down to Garbat and back along the A835 to the car park. Snow on the ground above 800m on North facing slopes, and permanent cloud cover on both Glas Leathads, but it stayed dry, if pretty windy. Total time 6h 14min - just over 24km and 1300m ascent.mproudfoot17/02/2024

Parking at nature reserve car park NH411672 (fills quickly, no overspill allowed as the road has clearway signs). Std route on engineered path, relentlessly up An Cabar. Extensive damage now to upland mossy habitat, but many people ignored the signs asking them to keep to a central line so as to allow rehabilitationIsbjorn17/10/2023

Parked at the signed free BW car park and followed excellent path up An Cabar and the ridge to BW. Continued to shoulder of Tom a Choinnich before heading off E on broad ridge to Glas Leathad Beag. Returned over ToC and descended down pathless W ridge to Cnoc na Bana-mhorair and into the mapped treeless forest rides before picking up proper forest tracks back to the car park. Excellent day, cold, windy but largely clear. With Gillianrichard6921/04/2023
From free Garbat carpark to west. Headed up SW slopes of Tom a Choinnich. Initially followed a firebreak but then pathless heathery boggy terrain. Superb walk south along the ridge via trig to An Cabar, then west down the good but steep main path. Alone after initial ascent while Richard did Munro tops to NE.Denise 20/04/2023
