Langie Mar Lodge meet, with Steven, Niall, Inma & Elliot.Grinner-Munros217/02/2024
After a morning of torrential rain; I set off at lunchtime from Inverey car park. As there was shooting on I had a quick chat and they said they were finished for the day so I headed up the good track and then up Carn Nan Seileach. After the track ended it was very boggy for a bit before the ascent to Carn Bhac. Visited all 3 cairns views were intermittent. Descent vis Grouse Butts to Altanour and back through lovely Glen Ey. I was too late starting to get to the other Munro. Walked whole way time 5 hours 15 minutes for 14.5 miles.isabelle04/10/2023

Solo Beinn Iutharn Mhòr and Càrn Bhac from Inverey. Used the mtb as far as Altanour Lodge (just under 6mi, 200m ascent, ~50mins), then anti-clockwise route on foot - reached cloud-covered summit of Carn Bhac 1h 20m later. 1h 50m later reached (also cloud-covered) summit of Beinn Iutharn Mhòr (after a not-terribly pleasant ascent up loose rock). Steep descent back from 850m back down to around 650m (with great views over Glen Ey, now I was under the cloud)and then a often-disappearing path through the heather back over to the lodge. 4h 25min total time on foot. 35min ride back to Inverey resulting in a total car-to-car time of 5h 55min.mproudfoot25/09/2021
