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 10Rockdoctor01/01/2024

Circuit of Glen Gynack from Kingussie. Followed track up Glen Gynack and fior short distance up W side of Allt Mor, then headed W up hillside to near beallach and short climb to Creag Mhor. 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).RobertP01/06/2023

9/9 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!nickywood107/07/2021

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.summitter19/01/2020

Solo. From Ardvonne car park, Kingussie. To Pitmain Lodge and up track on SW side of Allt Mòr. Found a track, not marked on my OS 1:50,000 map, that goes to summit of Carn an Fhreiceadain and beyond. From Carn an Fhreiceadain continued NE to minor top with a cairn and then SE to reach summit of Beinn Bhreac. Track came to an end. Came across a stone man and continued to point 701m. There is a rough track coming in from right. Highest point is knoll east of track. Continued to Cairn Dulnan.pwbellarby04/06/2012
