Up track from the cul-de-sac road to the east which in its last mile is a 5mph rutted nightmare. Bright blue sky for most of afternoon but late on a bit of gently falling snow that turned to light rain.vegibagger25/02/2024
With Rhona, Struie & Heather. Parked at 756364, space for a few cars. Made way along track opposite to hook a left, then another to end up at the entrance to the windfarm. Use the windfarm tracks and many map stands available therein to get as close as possibe to the summit and minimise the peat hag bashing. When we did it, there was between 6 inches and a foot of snow, so it was a real slog once off piste. Used a fenceline on the way back to try to minimise snow drift bashing – to the top of an estate track at 808389 and return via the windfarm the same way.DampandDusty02/12/2023
Lovely drive to Daless. Good road takes you all the way up to within a few hundred metres of the trig point on Carn an Uillt Bhric. From there, a surprisingly easy traverse to the next trig on the Graham. Despite recent heavy rain, the peat was easily crossed, following ATV tracks. Solo. Section 9 Grahams completed.Dangerous Dave28/10/2023
Easy route fr Ruthven to S. Mostly LRT, very runnable. Top wet but few peat groughs this side. Views poor. Light drizzle at first, changed to mild sunshine later, but cold SW wind throughout.NorfolkPT2103/02/2023
My first ever Fiona (the hill list formerly known as Grahams). Had planned a weekend at the Inverness YH to get some munros in the NW, but I slept in, so headed for the Moy Windfarm on the B9154, instead. The windfarm tracks make this bikable, but I walked in. Stopped at the 'Green Bothy' (a game stalker's hut) for some lunch on the porch bench as the hut was locked. Above 450m it was a pathless heathery hillside, the hill is topped with trig point. I returned via a track on the Eastern edge of the windfarm, got back to car as the light was fading. Only person I saw was a gamekeeper on his quad bike. Overcast, with a chilly wind, but dry, Ben Wyvis was cloudy above 800m, 05:15hrs all in.chillyman803/12/2022

From Daless (NH860385), forded Allt Breac, then up the estate track, turning uphill at the junction at NH852383, crossing the Allt Breac again, then up to the unmapped bulldozed road continuing to turning area at NH836388, then across the moorland, threading through and along peat hag channels, helped by intermittent ATV track, W up to summit, returning same way (3h10m)kdbennett22/03/2022
From Moy on good tracks then open moor.rhalstead09/09/2021
From Dalness along the bulldozed track then across and along almost canyon-like peat hag systems en route to the summit. My 500th Marilyn.Nick Down106/09/2021
With M, from Drynachan Lodge. Narrow single track road with few passing places, fortunately did not meet anything. Nice warm day, heavy goiing in peat channels on the top.douglas_easton27/06/2021

At last, a legal reason to visit property in Inverness, and this wee hill. From Dalness, good track to about 540m, after that nothing very good, lots of big, deep peat hags. Sunny, but cold wind.iangalbraith03/04/2021

Forest track entrance. Track then peat hags. OKPlay2End05/09/2019
From Dalness on a very substantial bulldozed track which now goes much further than shown on(my)map. So far in fact that it makes going to the first trig point a bit unnecessary unless you are into that kind of thing. From end of track, in cloud almost from start, walked on a 280 degree bearing which took me to ground obviously rising to the summit.dickscroop07/04/2019

From Daless. Lots of peat to cross but ground frozen and some snow.RobertP31/10/2018
Seriously hot today, but thankfully windy too. From Daless (good parking, rubbish potholed road), over the ford, and up the main track (first few side tracks go to partridge rearing pens), then branch right down to the ford over the Allt Bhreac and up to the end of the track. Vague ATV track to a cairn, then down to hags and rough moor, followed by proper hags with a good deer track parallel to the ATV trails and wooden pallets. Up a broad stony stream way and then lichen and heather to the top. Back via the Carn an Uillt Bhric trig, since it's there. Best done in a drought, makes it very easy.Gill27/07/2018
Up estate track from Daless. Easy crossing between trigs. Very dry & followed vehicle tracks.ngthack08/06/2018

With Dave Roeder. From Daless (10:25), followed track which goes almost to Carn an Uilt Bhric. From there across plateau to summit. Down via ridge to S of main watercourse. Windy and cold but mostly dry. Finish 14:00dbb23/04/2018

Solo trip. Fairly new bulldozed track takes you most of the way to the ridge/plateau now.Invicta1401/06/2017
From Dalness followed track as far as it went. Over Carn an Uillt Bhric on way back. Fishing & shooting estate with plenty of gin traps on logs across hags.rogreeves08/05/2017
Climbed from Daless following the track over the ford before crossing the heather and striking up Carn an Uillt Bhric to the trig point. From here an easy walk west to the summit and trig of Carn nan Tri- tighearnan. Decent views rof the Cairngorms though the North was in cloud.Peterb27/08/2016
Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK Log - Bagged in conjunction with neighbouring Carn An Uillt Bhric. Parking by roadend at NH859386, Daless. Mapped estate track now extended to NH835388. First call to Carn An Uillt Bhric then across continuous peat troughs to summit where new fences have recently been constructed. Pillar in good condition. Spider retains original looking metal OS centre cap which has never had any letters engraved into it. Returned via peat troughs and extended estate track.thejackrustles12/06/2016
On TGO Challenge, with Sue, from camp at Beinn Bhuidhe Mhor. Also climbed on 16/05/2013.Phreerunner19/05/2016
From entrance to new wind farm north of Moy, cycled NE through the farm then on to summit. Warm and sunny but with strong east wind.Topographer5710/05/2016
Parked above Drynachan and followed the marked track till it's end. Thereafter, with a myriad of peat bogs to clamber over, I first bagged Carn An Uillt Bhric and then on to this summit. A leg destroying slog back over the peat hags followed before descending back down the track.BigJ22/03/2016
From road end at Daless. Followed tracks through extensive bird breeding and shooting area. Shooting parties about however we managed to avoid by an early start. Took track high (not marked on current OS) to below trig top Carn an Uillt Bhric. By now deep snow and waded through impressive hags section to gain main summit. Returned same way in trail left for ease. Great viewpoint on top.nordicstar16/01/2016
From Dalness. A nice walk made interesting by the snow.jenx16/01/2016

Maybe not the exciting of mountains and spoiled by so many estate roads for the bird slaughterers. However the Findhorn valley is great - especially in autumn colours.Martin R30/10/2013

Parked at Daless. Uphill on access tracks to peer into steep gorge of Allt Breac. Crossed over to regain route to a virtually non-existent overgrown track not used by vehicles. Steeply up over trackless deep heather to top at 10.30. Carn an Ullt Bhric. Over dry moor over bottom of hags to deer paths and to top at 11.30. Hares.arranc24/07/2004
