Carn an Fhidhleir & An Sgarsoch from Geldie Lodge | geoffh12 | 27/09/2023 |
Bike from Linn of Dee to Geldie Lodge. 8 miles and 4 'paddles' - bring a spare pair of shoes! Heather and bog up to Carn and Fhidleir was a slog and under the cloud base. Then, easier going to An Sgarsoch and clear views from the top. Down the grass and heathery slopes (good going though) and back to the lodge. Cycle and 4 more 'paddles' to Linn of Dee. | tsharp | 12/07/2023 |

An Sgarsoch and Càrn an Fhidhleir - cycled in from Linn of Dee to Geldie Lodge with John - track rough in parts but none of it too rough for a hardtail mtb. The only parts we dismounted for were the water crossings and, due to a recent dry spell, the only one that required wet feet was the Geldie Burn itself (used a pair of water shoes to cross). Did a little bit of heather-bashing on the hills, but going was good for the most part and we ended up with a time of 7h 18min from Linn of Dee (9:10am departure) and then back to Linn of Dee (4:28pm). Reckon the cycling saved at least 2.5hrs. | mproudfoot | 15/08/2021 |
1/3 From tent at Red Bothy (MBA work party in progress). Windy, grey, but all summits clear. Up Cnapan Garbh and Druim nan Saobhaidh to summit. | Rounsfell | 14/08/2021 |

Round 2 of Munros. Came up from Druim Sgarsoch (954m). Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 15/07/2021 |
I made the long walk in from Blair Atholl to the Falls of Tarf and then ascended Coire na Creige (771m) which was a pathless boggy climb. Then I walked the ridge to the official summit at Braigh Coire Caochan nan Laogh (743m). I was glad the summit wasn't the cairn shown on the OS map as this saved some time! Then along the ridge to Carn Greannach (882m), Druim Sgarsoch (954m) and the main summit of An Sgarsoch (1006m). Then was the difficult bit as next was the second munro, Carn an Fhidhleir (994m). This had looked a big drop on the map but wasn't quite as bad as I feared. I then followed the rivers down to the Tilt valley and then the long walk back. The 61km walk took 17 hours and it was a personal achievement to do it as a single day walk. Cloud free summits. | meltdiceburg | 11/07/2021 |

Bike in from Lin of Dee - good track to White bridge, then good further half mile, after which very rough. Impossible to bike for me most of time - should have left bike at first building after White Bridge and walked the rest. Also four fords knee deep to cross (with bike!) | carole engel | 06/07/2020 |
With Marion after Fhidleir. Good views. | Chris Blake | 06/08/2019 |
