In cloud with steady rain and a stiff wind all day pretty well. Not very pleasant but interesting navigation and the surprise of the wind farm north of Meall Caca(Ct). A long walk north from Melgarva bothy, well it seemed long in the conditions. Quite pleased to hit it first time, the lochans were a useful guide. Then with visibility improving a bit SE over an intermediate hump to Sidean Dubh na Cloiche Baine(Gt); then SW to Sherramore Forest(Gt); and back down via the burn again using the lochans as a guide.dickscroop30/06/2019

decent summit, grass & some rock, mist. TGO Challenge: Gairbeinn to Kingussie RHW17/05/2006
Solo. From Garva Bridge walked on the old military road which goes over Corrieyairack Pass. At NN420986 ascended to Corrieyairack Hill. Then over Geal Charn, Gairbein, points 870m, 786m, 758m, Meall na h-Aisre. The descent was beside Allt Coire Iain Oig to reach Garva Bridge. Weather good. A bit slow due to peat hags.pwbellarby01/07/1995
