Solo. Clockwise on the Walk Highland recommended route. Toyed with the idea of extending the walk along the ridge to the other Cromdale Hills Fiona, Carn a Ghille Chearr, but didn't really have enough daylight and the ridge was reported by another walker on the day as very boggy.DampandDusty19/11/2023

Carn a' Ghille Chearr and Creagan a' Chaise from Ballcorachrhalstead12/09/2023
Parked on verge at Wester Rynaballoch. Took the good track at 101284, then the ATV track higher up to the cairn near point 635. Good path from there. Pair of curlews lower down, many golden plovers higher up.Owen B17/06/2023

Parked at track entrance, 200m south of Lynemore. Sgor Gaoithe, Carn na Cloiche, Carn Tuairneir and Creagan a Chaise. Great route. The Jubilee Cairn is impressive. Solo.Dangerous Dave09/11/2022

From Ballcorach car park, 14 mile circuit of the Cromdale hillsBLACKHILL03/11/2022
Parked to NE (Mains of Inverourie), biked to Milton. Good track WSW, continues as atv (feint at first). Detour to Carn Tuaimeir. Boundary line NE to Carn a'Ghille Chearr. Down mapped track to pick up mapped FP to Mains of Inverourie - not always evident. On outskirts of farm, double barbed wire/chicken wire fence (NJ150267) - no gate so climbed over and on to and thru' farmyard. Farmer drove past but did not challenge me.carole engel13/10/2022

From start of hill track 300 yards S of Lynemore, diverting to Carn Tuairneir before rejoining the track to Creagan a'Chaise and the Jubilee Cairn. Cairngorms hazily visible in pastel shades on the hottest September day in Scotland for 115 yearsNick Down108/09/2021
From carpark over bridge at NJ155265 up track past Knock to ridge, saw an eagle. Turned right on ridge to Carn a Ghille Chear. Returned along ridge and continued on poor, boggy path to Cairn at NJ108260 where path improved to top. Descended west down narrow path to track lower down and followed quiet lane to carpark. 0Flatfield04/09/2021

Run from Cromdalestooby27/10/2020
A quick and easy walk up the tracks to Creagan a' Chaise from Lynemore on the A939. Good parking. Track goes a long way up the hill, becoming peaty. Short descent then to the summit, watch out for the lichen, slippery after rain. A less easy walk back along the ridge via Carn Tuairneir to Sgor Gaoithe, dodging the quagmires made by ATVs most of the way along the ridge, except where there is short tundra. Great views but would be more pleasant in a drought. Down the N ridge to gain the shooting track to return. Single plank bridge across the first stream, second stream is a ford, wet feet likely after rain.Gill02/10/2020

With Rod from east up past old mill at Knock to end of track then cross to ridge and varying quality tracks. Very wet in places - them of the day. Back along broad ridge to Coronation Cairn then up to Jubilee Cairn. Down on decent path/track to Milton and back to car. My 1,000th Simm.SS30/07/2020

From car park just off B9136 (Over river Avon bridge) @ Ballcorach - Track past derelict farm heading up hill (near Knock Burn). As farm track ends followed faint tracks through spongy heather heading for the Royal Cairn and the ridge running to the summit and Jubilee Cairn. A few snow showers as we drop towards the River Avon and Milton - then back along the road.briandavies05/05/2019
