From Dalmunzie Hotel (£5 parking - worth it) up Glas Tulaichean path for 1.2km. Turned R up fence, crossed it & followed reasonable path & atv track up Creag Dhearg. Good paths on ridge continued over Creag Bhreac to Glas Tulaichean avoiding all peat hags. Very defined path then, fainter over Glas Tulaichean N top, to Carn an Righ. Good traverse path, fading slightly in places, skirting Mam na Carn to Beinn Iutharn Mhor. Back over Mam na Carn on ok path to Beinn Iutharn Bheag. Steep descent direct from summit, S/SE to pick up bits of path round E edge of Loch nan Eun. Great path from waterfalls out. Despite a wet July, very dry underfoot. Paths are so huge since my first visit 30 years ago! 31km 1500m climb 9hrs total.Lynnebe09/08/2023

Paid £5 to park at Dalmunzie House. Old railway and track to Glas Tulaichean, north into glen then east along stalkers' path to Carn an Righ. Back along path to Loch nan Eun then followed Allt Easgaidh back to the start. Nice day below 800m but tops shrouded in mist. With FY.TRG31803/05/2023

Beautiful walk taking in Glas Tulaichean, pathless across to carn an righ, although good going on the most part then up to mam nan carn and beinn lutharn mhor. Adding this munro was well worth it as hadn't planned it, but the route was good and added little extra time. 31km in 7 hrs.Nicky C03/07/2022

Solo round of Glas Tulaichean and Càrn an Rìgh from the car park off the road to Dalmunzie (didn't park at the hotel as it was 6:30am when I arrived). Walked up the road and on to the track to Glas Tulaichean in the dark (head torch on) and in light snow. The snow stopped after around an hour, although i remained in full waterproofs and thermal layers for most of the rest of the walk due to the freezing winds. The sun came up over the mountains to the East as I ascended up out of Glen Lochsie. Snow line was around 700m but was fairly thin, wet snow apart from a few drifts across the track. Reached the summit of Glas Tulaichean after 2h 45min of walking, and didn't hang about as the ice formed on my face. Dropped down to the bealach quickly enough, and started along the icy path up to Càrn an Rìgh. Reached this summit 1.5h after leaving the summit of Glas Tulaichean, took some pics and descended. The route back out via Loch nan Eun and Gleann Taitneach was a long plod.. with a fmproudfoot25/11/2021

3/5 From tent S of Altanour, setting off 7.40am. Beautiful day – slight breeze at first. Sunny, cloudy spells later. Time from tent site back to tent site. Cycled up glen and back. Rounsfell05/06/2021
Down north from Glas Tulaichean. A long slog on the muddy path beneath Mam nan Carn. Easy ascent onto the summit of C nan R and the top was clear - good view of Beinn a Ghlo .Back along the boggy path all the way to Loch nan Eun. Somehow the return to Dalmunzie Hotel though only 7 Km from the Loch took Robin and me 3 hours- good newish bridge about 1Km north of the hotel in Gleann Taitneach which looked very good in the evening sun.A long day ~10 hoursyounggl26/05/2021
Absolutely epic weekend, on Saturday I got my first Munro since November 2020, hiked in and camped near a picturesque loch and got another Munro on the Sunday. The tent was a total failure (groundsheet let water in each time you touched it) and I’ll need to buy a new / warmer sleeping bag, but all in, a very good weekend. I set off from the Spittal of Glenshee church at 11:10 on Saturday 15th May and hiked up the north side of Gleann Taitneach to Loch nan Eun, where I found a boggy bit of ground for my tent. I should of kept looking for better spot, but I wanted to crack with the hills. I then headed north for the two Munro tops of Beinn Lutharn Bheag (953m) and Mam nan Carn (986m), there were some nice views from the first, but by the time I got to Mam nan Carn, the mist had set in. This was followed by the first Munro, Beinn Lutharn Mhor (1045m) at 17:45 and nice views north to the snow covered Cairngorms, I was back at the tent for 19:30. On Sunday 16th May, I headed for the Munrochillyman816/05/2021
