From CP above Moulin. Meall Uaine, Meall na h-Aodainn Moire, Meall an Daimh, Ben Vrackie, Meall Breac, Carn Geal & Creag Bhreac. 18.7 kms. After Meall Breac, ATV track from near Loch Choire to bealach W of Carn Geal. After CG, back to bealach & SW on ATV track. Left it at 95880/63151 at cairn and contoured round to Ben Vrackie path. | duchally | 30/01/2023 |
Round of tops surrounding Ben Y Vrackie. Initially followed standard route, taking beallach path and easily climbing Meall na h-Aodainn Moire from high point. Return to path continuing NNW and climbing towards Meall an Daimh. Continued to summit on pathless terrain, also visiting the outcrop a short distance away from the official summit. Continued E along ridge then contouring to join ridge to climb Meall Breac. Returned to beallach then some contouring S and then climb to Carn Geal. Descended roughly W then contoured to join descent path from Ben Y Vrackie, and short diversion to climb Creag Bhreac on return. Mixture of weather - some sunny spells, cloud and rain. | RobertP | 26/10/2022 |
from the Ben Vrackie car park, took the track as you pass Creag Bhreac track is pretty good for all but the last 200m which was a bit boggy, but decent fenceline to follow. 11km in just over 2hrs, poor visibility and strong winds, so didn't fancy doing much more | Nicky C | 11/03/2022 |
Parked in car park above Moulin for a circuit of 7 summits around Ben Vrackie: Creag Bhreac, Meall na h-Aodainn Moire, Meall Uaine, Meall an Daimh, Meall Breac, Carn Geal (both rocks) and Carn Dubh. | PGCE | 30/04/2021 |

Circuit from Moulin, via Meall an Daimh and Meall Breac. 15.4k. Light covering of snow. The sun came out and winds were light. | NormanW | 09/01/2020 |
From tent 100 metres or so up the track by the memorial. Followed this for some way then lost it but found another path (this one not on the map) which took a higher, better line to east of Carn Geal(Ct) summit then directly up this on decent ground. All in cloud which continued along ridge to Meall Breac(Gt). Cloud cledared by now form pleasant and gentle crossing to Crungie Clach(Gt). Dropped west of south to cross stream and join forest edge, up firebreak and down forest track back to road.On drop down to stream came across a Red Deer skull with very impressive set of antlers still attached. Large but in poor condition, obviously a couple of years old at least. | dickscroop | 19/05/2019 |
7 top round from parking at moulin, creag bhreac, meall na h aodainn moire, meall uaine, meall an daimh, meall breac, carn geal, carn dubh, down to the masts to pick up the bike for a downhill cycle back to moulin. | robertphillips | 06/05/2019 |
Parked by the memorial on the Pitlochry/Braemar road. Followed track and then sheep trails round Carn Dubh. Picked up a Land Rover track after crossing the wall. Ascended grassy slopes from the east to be met by gale force winds as I crossed to the summit. Fortunately visibility was still good but it closed in after leaving. Ascended Carn Dubh on the return. | JohnW | 22/10/2018 |
