After Beinn Bhreac. 
 
As others from Ardlussa, following track to dam then ATV track off left. When ATV track looked like it largely ran out went left on another ATV track that led up around the ridge and onto the TuMP of Cnoc Tigh-sealge. Then down and up grassy rake to summit of Beinn Breac. From summit headed down grassy rake to valley between Loch Aird a Chruaidh-Ghinn and the smaller loch SW of it. Then up various grassy rakes to Dubh Bheinn via its 477m TuMP. Headed down from here down SE grassy rake, then South to meet track at about 581881. Followed track all the way down to forest and to end car at 613849. Last mile of track pretty good due to tree plantations around the valleys. Good parking spot also. 11.55 miles out about 6 hrs Strava says 5hrs 9 walking time. Ground very dry, think it would be harder work when wet. With KeithByTheC and Carol. | JulieB | 29/04/2022 |
From Beinn Bhreac. Down grassy ramps to 280m contour below Loch Tigh-sealga. Up grassy ramps through confusing terrain to lochans bewteen summit and SE top. Then easy slopes up to summit. | KeithByTheC | 29/04/2022 |

#5 of 7 from Lussa bridge car park. Wet and windy. Revisit | RHW | 06/04/2022 |
Following Beinn Bhreac, return via ATV track down north side Allt Grundale. | N.Morters | 01/04/2022 |
Beinn Bhreac then Dubh Beinn, from Ardlussa. When outward path fizzled out, turned L & went high. Great day out - excellent weather. With Bolton & CJM. | ger | 28/03/2022 |

Clockwise round, starting from Ardlussa, good parking. To the dam, bridge has gone, could be tricky in wet weather. Left fork of ATV track leads to bridge over Allt Grundale, then up past lochans at 300m and over pt 310. Shortly after, a clear deer track contours S of Cnoc Tigh Sealga well below an obvious cairn, brings you to Loch Tigh-sealga, then deer tracks easily to Dubh Bheinn via various lochans. Back, then deer tracks and ATV track to Bealach a' Chruaidh-ghlinn, deer tracks to Beinn Bhreac and nearby trig. Down the ATV track starting near the lochan below the trig, joining the outward route. | Gill | 28/03/2022 |
From Ardlussa to Beinn Bhreac and then to Dubh Bheinn on a glorious day. Long walk back to the car from this summit but plenty of ATV tracks to follow. Just under 12 miles and seven and a half hours with CM and Ger. | bolton | 28/03/2022 |

Round of Bhreac and Dubh from Ardlussa, route and time agreed with local stalkers. From Bhreac via Loch Tigh Sealga, then back down to TS, NE up to 330m and down on 8WD Ardlussa track. | Topographer57 | 17/09/2019 |
Ardlussa to Beinn Bhreac on a windy but dry day. The re-ascent to Dubh Bheinn seems to go on and on. Great views of nearby Humps. The return from DB made by following ATV tracks which took me South of Maol nan Damh so had to contour round that hill to regain the outgoing track. 18.5k. | NormanW | 24/04/2019 |
Bhreac and Dubh Bheinn from Ardlussa. A tricky couple of summits with some complicated terrain in thick mist above 400ms so well-chuffed to locate both tops using my good old map and compass. By the way, the track marked on the OS map is nothing more than a boggy ATV track which goes to just below the summit of Bhreac. From Bhreac to Dubh Bheinn, took a SW bearing then up from lochan following burn to 2 tiny lochans just below summit. | AndrewFinnimore | 26/03/2019 |

With Jenx. Round of Beinn Breac and Dubh Bheinn from Ardlussa. ATV tracks and staying high the secret. | nordicstar | 31/05/2016 |

Despite Jim's bloomer we eventually found the right top, starting from the bridge over the Lussa. | Martin R | 11/06/2012 |
As Martin states but at least the twin point of point 477 looks like a P30 ! 
GR8 walking condition underfoot with lovely views. Walking with Jim Bloomer & Martin Richardson. | Dugswell2 | 11/06/2012 |

Pleasant and straightforward walk from Beinn Bhreac, via outlet of Loch Tigh-Sealga. Then not such a pleasant slog back to the car south of Loch Shiffin via rubbish overgrown ATV tracks. | Owen B | 23/08/2008 |

fine complex remote hill, fine views esp. of near-vertical Rainberg Mor strata: tough tussocky Glen approach. 2M + 1Y anticlock from 616853; deer tks are lifesavers in deep boggy Jura tussock | RHW | 27/03/2002 |
