With Rob following SMC round from corgarff castle. Marvellous ridge walk. Two golden eagles.alexmaclennan09/09/2020
A great walk from Corgarff Castle. To Inchmore, then Druim na Feithe to Craig Veann, on a track then ATV track most of the way. On to Carn Bad a' Ghuail, deer tracks, and a lovely descent to Lagganauld, splendid views and easy going along Breac Leitir. The limestone scenery here is impressive. Up track past Ruigh Speanan, then ATV track, easy going, to pt 709 and then Cairn Culchavie, mainly on easy short heather. ATV track leads easily down to Inchmore.Gill24/08/2020

A track put in to ferry grouse worriers to their sunken butts allows an easy climb from Inchmore.summitter22/04/2018
From Corgarff castle car park - I should have had my bike with me but this was an extra walk I slipped in having managed two walks in day on the 24th. An easy walk in along the surfaced road and then a comfortable round of Cairn Culchavie, Meikle Geal Charn and Carn Ulie to the south (not named on map) before heading NNe over the col and back to the track and road. Very easy walking all way.dickscroop25/08/2017
