| Parked near Wester Aberchalder for a 38km circuit of 12 summits, including 8 Simms. 3/12 | PGCE | 05/04/2023 |
| Turbine-tasctic monotonous walk from Garthbeg. Started with a long, dusty road to Carn na Saobhaidhe (604m) then Carn na Saobhaidhe (811m). So dull they named it twice. There-and-back to Carn Mhic lamhair, NW to Beinn Bhuraich, down to Meall a' Bhuailt, and homeward bound via Beinn Mheadhoin and Carn Choire Riabhaich. Okay in sunny, dry conditions. Would be horrible if wet and overcast as minimal visual and topographical interest. 7 hrs. | summitter | 05/06/2021 |

| A nice round from Dalbeg bothy though weather was miserable. Two sections of track and following streams as much as possible meant ground not too bad except for section after main summit. Carn Mhic Lamhair(Ct), Carn na Saobhaide(C), Beinn Bhuraich(Ct), Meall a Bhuailt(Gt) and a diversion on the way back to Carn na Saobraidhe E top. | dickscroop | 30/06/2017 |
| Parked by telephone box taking tracks almost all the way to Carn Mhic Iamhair, then Carn na Saobhaidhe. Summit of Saobhaidhe very flat with cairn plus the high point and other near-candidates. Continued to Beinn Bhuraich, Meall a'Bhuailt and Beinn Dubhcharaidh, descending N a short way to pitch tent. Fine sunny day made this a surprisingly pleasant route. Easy descent down to the Glen and starting point. | RobertP | 08/04/2017 |
| Worst day I have ever had on a hill rounded off by a puncture shortly after leaving Dalbeg in the dark. | ARM | 06/12/2014 |

| From N, Dunmaglass, big wide track in prep for 35 turbine wind farm, then older track, fording deepish burn 4x before leading almost to summit. Then over Saobhaidhe and 2 Sims, back via Dubhcharaidh. | RHW | 05/05/2014 |
| GMC meet. With Keith Anderson | mike.hoult | 23/04/2014 |
| From road head w Jenx by the Findhorn. Long walk in via hut at Dalbeg and inc tops of Carn Mhic Iamhair and South top. Followed track up to ice floes Allt Odhar and summit area in wicked snow flurries to top. Clear and picked up all tops, cairn best one but highest near fence. Back out 10 miles same way! | nordicstar | 29/12/2012 |

| Cairngorm Club weekend meet at Newtonmore. Solo. From at Coignafearn (Old Lodge). Walked along the track to Coignafearn Lodge. I saw a feral goat family (mother, father, one kid). Continued on the track to Dalbeg and followed the track westwards on the slopes above Allt Creagach. At the top of the first rise a track, not shown on the map, goes off NE. The track I followed is shown as a footpath on my 1:50,000 map, but is a land rover track. I went to the top of Meall a' Phiobaire and followed a line of old fence posts, to begin with, and then to the summit of Carn Mhic Iamhan. On the summit is an ancient cairn. I continued to reach summit of Carn na Saobhaidhe. I went southwards passing an ancient cairn, marked on map. This looked like a small burial cairn, with a collapsed entrance. I continued to Carn a' Choire Sheilich and Carn na Làraiche Maoile. | pwbellarby | 22/03/1997 |
