| Car park by the ford. Ford was shallow enough to walk through without getting wet feet but there is a footbridge at the far end of the car park. Track up hill accessed via gate. At at second gate a track to the left runs to within 120m of summit. Good views including East and West Lomond and Schiehallion. | PeteF | 11/08/2023 |

| From car park south of ford ( nice n low) in Little Glenshee. Used estate track , through two huge gates with stile and a swing door. After second gate used grassy track which dribbled into a wee path and takes you pretty much to summit. Windy windy but managed to dodge torrential showers. Black faced ewes. Jackdaw. M pipit. Must be a managed estate for grouse shooting. | VerySlowPlodder | 01/07/2023 |

| From the car park south of the ford in Little Glenshee. Over footbridge to gate. Followed track almost to summit. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 30/06/2023 |
| Superb views north across the full width of the southern Cairngorms. Up track from Little Glenshee, through upper gate then left and up gully to summit. Descent down north side to follow track back round to gate, avoiding the worst of the burnt heather. Cut off zig zag corner on lower section of tarck on descent. | SpudGunn | 11/03/2023 |

| From Little Glenshee on totally still day, overcast, lots of very new lambs. After doing two days of WHW with Squiz. | Rounsfell | 01/05/2022 |
| Good parking on the south side of the ford. Very enjoyable easy walk on good tracks almost to the summit, returning by the same route. | martin_hall | 10/04/2022 |

| Clockwise round of Creag na Criche, Creag Liath, Carn Tuile, Drum Tick and Formal Hill. Up the track from the car park. New-looking pedestrian gates now make the massive stiles redundant. Followed tracks all the way to N of the summit. Sadly very misty so no views. | Minto | 22/12/2021 |
| As per nick downs, but started in the car park. After work bag. Wanted to do them all, but time was against me. Think this is a place to visit more often. Stunning views all around and nice to see the rain affecting different parts of the tay valley and beyond. 1 hr 30 5 km | Nicky C | 09/09/2021 |

| A delightful walk on a sunny April day. Parked opposite stile, followed track to second stile, then grassy 4WD track onto ridge and towards summit. A baggers' path follows a grassy strip steeply through heather to the summit from the NE. Extensive views. | Nick Down1 | 16/04/2021 |

| Parked south of ford in sunshine (15:55), crossed bridge, road and first stile. Easy route up fence to cut off the big zigzag, then followed track to 2nd stile. Then path curved round north of hill past shooting butts leaving only a short steep thrash through deep heather to the summit. Intermittent sun. Nice hill. Finish 17:35. | dbb | 05/07/2020 |

| Parking at the end of road to Little Glenshee. Best not follow the track north but walk up the road west to avoid the deer fence, especially if you have a dog. Then head north to the top. Look out for blackcock, I saw at least 20, what a sight. | Simon Winton | 04/01/2020 |
| Creag na Criche from the ford-side car park then we continued northwards up the track to Moine Folaich and then (although not on my map) westwards to almost the top of Creag Liath. Returned via Glen Shee. Nice pre-Crimbo circular walk. | summitter | 22/12/2019 |

| Signs prohibiting parking at start of track, NN987340, but good parking on S side of ford, with footbridge over, NN988339. On good tracks to about NN985353, then straight up - the wet moss beneath the heather was extremely slippery. | Isbjorn | 05/06/2019 |
