Good parking area to WNW on track to Ordgarff (NJ 2625 0834). Tom a' Gharraidh, Carn Mor and Camock Hill first, then on to here. Returned due N via Delachuper for a 10.7km round. | jonglew | 25/11/2023 |
5th of 6 Simms on a linear walk from Shenval to Corgarff. | NormanW | 01/10/2023 |
Pleasant linear walk from NJ305018 (Shenval). Up track detouring to Fox Cairn, Carn a'Bhacain, The Ca, Camock Hill, Carn Leac Saigheir, Carn Mor and Tom a'Gharraidh (TG). Surprisingly TG had a good track/atv/trod right over it from NJ258078 and down to the road at NJ261087, where I had left my bike in the woods. | carole engel | 17/10/2022 |

On one of Cairngorm Club Midweek Walks. From a parking area at NJ262083 near Ordgarff. A circuit to Carn Leac Saighdeir via Càrn Meadhonach, returning on the old military road. Tracks all the way. Some of us went up and down the south ridge of Càrn Mòr. | pwbellarby | 28/04/2022 |

3 of 6: From The Ca. With Karen. | ChrisR | 15/11/2021 |
Dark now on summit at 5pm - right on schedule -with, for no extra charge, a bitter wind and a new wet mist. A perfect birthday present to be on a mountain top -high up in the dark in the middle of nowhere. Last of a 5 top after-work twilight round -and with an easy but cautious descent by headtorch now - on the rather l.e.n.g.t.h.y track down and around to the main road for a dig deep uphill mile in the inky blackness back to the car. | Chris Pearson | 16/11/2020 |
A very pleasant circular walk past Ordgarff; note that there is a forestry car park a little way along the track, better than the road end. Track through the forest to join the N ridge of Carn Mor, easy going on an ATV track, then deer tracks; fine views all round. Down the S ridge on easy short heather but watch out for tree stumps and holes close to the track. Up the track to Carn Leac Saighdeir, lovely summit, a sheet of granite with square boulders perfectly positioned as back rests to loaf in the sun enjoying the view. This was a walk on home territory, not a bagging trip, so down the NE track to join the military road, a pleasant return with fine views and interesting bridges. | Gill | 09/08/2020 |
