| I did the Beinn a' Ghlo group of hills today, with Alex McBride, from the nice new car park at Loch Moraig near Blair Atholl. This is a repeat for us both, but we included a new Munro Top for me, which I had missed previously. 1) Carn Liath (975m), a Munro 2) Bràigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain (1070m), a Munro 3) Càrn nan Gabhar (1121m), a Munro 4) Airgiod Bheinn (1061m), a Munro Top Beinn a' Ghlo, means hill of the mist, but that wasn't the case today. Blue skies today the end and cracking views all day, 09:35hrs all in. | chillyman8 | 22/07/2023 |

| I didn't fancy the long walk out on tired legs, also Carn Liath was in cloud on approach, so opted to do the circuit of Airgiod Bheinn and the three Beinn A' Ghlo Munros anti-clockwise. It turned out to be a good choice. | TRG318 | 28/07/2022 |
