Followed the WH route from Kingussie, but parked a little higher up the road at the golf club (no one playing on New Year’s Day). The track up and over Beinn Bhreac was definitely better than heather bashing, but was quite iced up lower down. Better going in firmer snow higher up. Very cold but mostly stunn8ngly clear, with light winds. Descent to the Allt Mor was quick, but more f7n and games with ice lower down. 17km 4h 10 | Rockdoctor | 01/01/2024 |

Continued to Creag Dhubh, Carn Coire na h-Inghinn, Geal Charn, Carn a' Bhothain Mholaich and Carn an Fhreiceadain. Easy walking on track to Beinn Bhreac then descent (steep at end) and climb to Meall a' Chocaire. Continued S and climbed Creag Bhalg. Returned via track running roughly SW (path marked on map disappeared near golf course). | RobertP | 01/06/2023 |

Solo from Ardvonie car park (free!). Clockwise round on trax. Visiting Bheinn Breac. Snow and ice up top. Well signed on lower part of walk. | DampandDusty | 05/02/2023 |
With John from Kingussie car park (an ice rink that morning). Up the icy road then anti-clockwise loop up to Beinn Bhreac, along to the corbett summit (and the odd cairn downhill a bit) then down the northern track to eventually rejoin the inbound track. Good track all the way around but covered in icy snow above 500m, which made for a slow pace. Total time: 4h 33min. | mproudfoot | 28/12/2022 |
Fierce S wind on top, had to keep moving; mild temperatures and rainy weather for days now. Views from top down into sunlit Strathspey but lowering clouds all around. Quick easy run up, across to Bhreac, and back down to Kingussie, 2.5h all told. | NorfolkPT21 | 31/10/2022 |

Return to hut and good easy quick ride back. Showery, windy and cold. | Frank | 20/10/2021 |
Clockwise circuit from Kingussie car park. Easy, speedy walking. Red squirrel and pheasants low down, mountain hare close to the summit, plentiful red grouse. | Owen B | 18/09/2021 |
1/2 By bike from Kingussie. Not a cloud in the sky. Slight cooling breeze higher up – very welcome. Bike broke – headset locked stiff abruptly. Turned out bearings had failed, three weeks after purchase. Managed to ride down carefully and slowly. | Rounsfell | 27/08/2021 |
8/9 Creag Mhor, Creag Dhubh, Carn Coire na h Inghinn, Geal Charn, Carn a Bhothian Mholaich, Bruach nan Imirichean, Carn Sgulain, Carn An Fhreiceadain and Beinn Bhreac. Tough Climb first, then easier walking along old and established fence lines right out into the moors then back on good tracks for the Corbett and down on tracks over Beinn Bhreac making the last miles easier. So remote out there! | nickywood1 | 07/07/2021 |

From the golf course to Beinn Breac and then Can an Fhreiceadain along the stalking tracks (stopping at a rather nice stalking hut for brunch en route). Continued along track towards Meall Unaig to another hut for lunch. A rather tame Mountain hare who lives under the hut also had his/her lunch. Crossed the burn and straight up to Cairn Coire na h-Inghinn, then over to Creag Dhubh and Mhor. A muddy ATV track follows the burn between the two Creag's before joining the main track alongside the Allt Mor and back to Pitmain Lodge and the private road to the golf club. | summitter | 19/01/2020 |
