Circuit of Glen Gynack from Kingussie. Followed track up Glen Gynack and fior short distance up W side of Allt Mor, then headed W up hillside to near beallach and short climb to Creag Mhor. Continued to Creag Dhubh, Carn Coire na h-Inghinn, Geal Charn, Carn a' Bhothain Mholaich and Carn an Fhreiceadain. Easy walking on track to Beinn Bhreac then descent (steep at end) and climb to Meall a' Chocaire. Continued S and climbed Creag Bhalg. Returned via track running roughly SW (path marked on map disappeared near golf course).RobertP01/06/2023

Tough Climb first, then easier walking along old and established fence lines right out into the moors then back on good tracks for the Corbett and down on tracks over Beinn Bhreac making the last miles easier.
