Biked from Glen Feshie until too steep, then about 1.5hrs walking out and back. Cycle in nice but was in clag from about 600m up, increasingly windy and rain began at summit. On to Meallach Mhor after. Rounsfell05/10/2023

8 of 9: From Leac an Taobhain. With Sam & Tim.ChrisR20/08/2023
Leathad an Taobhain and Carn Dearg Mor With John from the car park at Auchlean. Cycled along the road to just before the farm, then the path/track leading to the bridge over the river (Upper Glen Feshie), and then the road along to the Glenfeshie Lodge. Continued on a track S then SW to just before Lochan an t-Sluic, then parked the bikes and continued on foot. Followed the track to almost the summit of Leathad an Taobhain, before crossing the heathery grass to the summit. Returned down the same track to a junction just west of the lochan, and then headed NW up heathery slopes to the summit ridge of Carn Dearg Mor. Followed a path to summit, then descended SE sharply down to the bikes. Cycled back out the same way we came in. Cloudy but largely dry - total times: Ride in: 59min Walking the hills: 3h 58min Ride out: 36minmproudfoot20/08/2023

e-bike up west side of Glen Feshie to Slochd Mor just beyond lochan, last bit very steep. Steady climb on estate track almost all the way to Corbett. A little sting in the tail with a drop below the final pull. Returned to Slochd Mor for part two.langskill22/05/2023

Same route as walkhighlands. Sunny and hot day. Lovely walk down the Feshie, sometimes biking means your missing the scenery when on the dirt tracks. 9hr 35min.Jhimmy05/06/2022
From Achlean. Logistics of hiring a mountain bike didn't work out, so walked. Dry, cool, overcast, so excellent conditions for a long walk. Excellent tracks. The grassy path after the track end was also easy, not too wet or uneven or overgrown. Returned over the second Corbett.Owen B28/05/2022

Parked at 840000. Biked to 825900 at the top of the pass where snow prevented any more cycling. Ok walking out on the crusty snow even with a howling gale but on the return things had warmed up and it was gruesome with ever foot sinking into the soft stuff. Too exhausted for Carn Dearg so biked it back. 5 hours and 5 minutes and just under 21 miles, solo.bolton02/03/2022

Cycled from Auclean up Glen Feshie on very good estate tracks to Meall an Uillt. left bike here and walked to summit. returned to bike and descent to track junction just above Lochan an t-Sluic then W to join Minigaig and into Glen Tromie at the weir on Alt Bhran, cycleable all the way although rough in places. At Drumguish turned E to Balleguish, Tolvan and then S back to the bridge and returned to Auclean Fabulous MTB tour.John Lee05/09/2021

From camp in Upper GlenFeshie, solo via Lochan an-t Sluich,Leathad an Taobhain, B Bhreac and out by Slochd Beag. Sunny, warm but very cooling wind. Good views from each Corbett. Long 9hr walk inc stops (after walk in to camp). Rough going after 1st one but dry underfoot.niallp12/06/2021
From Glen Feshie. I cycled from Tolva to the foot of Slochd Moor, then walked up the estate road to Meall an Uillt Chreagaich. Above 700m, fresh snow had drifted giving both difficulties and beauty. After this top, soft snow- especially in the valley at the col was a problem. At one point I sank though through soft snow into bog. Time to turn back? I gave it another try, just climbing straight up a steep bank to exit the valley of almost despond to gain the path, then a bit over to the W, to get easily to the Corbett with its Trig- and sensational views in dazzling sunshine. These N slopes carried much less snow than S slopes. I abandoned my plan to continue to the Minigaig pass,descended easily and contoured to another col and added Glas-leathad Lorgaidh to the day’s summits, where I could relax on a bare patch on its W side. Returned back over Meall an Uillt Chreagaich, down its N ridge to avoid the drifts,back down the estate road with the snow below 700m melting away.pwheeler07/05/2021

From Glen Feshie, parked on FC track just past end of public road. Bike to Ruigh-fionntaig, easier than from Achlean and not much longer. To Beinn Bhreac first, up the splendid path through Slochd Beag (needs more use though). Down Caochan an Duine (path seems to continue), then down the Feshie until I got fed up with dodging the oxbows. Rising traverse towards Coire Creagach and to col at 792m. First sight of Beinn Bhreac, to top, then back along the ridge to Leathad an Taobhain. The ridge is a mixture of very easy going interspersed with tedious peat hags. Down via Slochd Mor on the track; glad I didn't have to walk the track twice.Gill03/05/2017
