carn bad a ghuail, foals craig, craig veann, liath bheinn, tolm buirich, druim bhuirich, tom dunan from the CP at corgarff castle biked in on a good track to 206 090. | robertphillips | 14/11/2021 |
5 of 5: From Craig Veann. Returned to The Lecht CP flanking Craig Veann and Carn Ealasaid. Sun now behind us but peat hags and heather still a nuisance. With Karen. | ChrisR | 09/11/2021 |
Easy track all the way to the summit of Carn Ealasaid from the A939 north of the Cock Bridge bridge, then more challenging heather 'n' hag terrain to Tolm Buirich and Craig Veann. The trudge over the lower Carn Bad a' Ghuail and Foal's Craig offered little respite, and the so-called path SE of The Eag was impossible to find until it becomes a legit grouse-blasters track. Being suckers for heathery punishment we nonetheless pressed on to bag Druim Bhuirich and Tom Dunan, enjoying a quick skinny-dip in the Allt Reppachie to cool sore limbs and bodies before the hot track-traipse back to Loinherry and the A939. | summitter | 18/07/2021 |
Walked E from Foal`s Craig | 187lenny | 22/11/2020 |
A great walk from Corgarff Castle. To Inchmore, then Druim na Feithe to Craig Veann, on a track then ATV track most of the way. On to Carn Bad a' Ghuail, deer tracks, and a lovely descent to Lagganauld, splendid views and easy going along Breac Leitir. The limestone scenery here is impressive. Up track past Ruigh Speanan, then ATV track, easy going, to pt 709 and then Cairn Culchavie, mainly on easy short heather. ATV track leads easily down to Inchmore. | Gill | 24/08/2020 |

Overnight route from car park just to S of Tomintoul. Track along Glen Avon, climb to Liath Bheinn, Craig Veann, Carn Bad a' Ghuail, descent to Inchrory. Took track WSW then cross River Avon and climbed track over Drum Loin, then rougher ground to Cnap Chaochan Aitinn. Descent N in gathering darkness to reach track, followed to top of woodland where camped by stream. Descent to glen and start point. | RobertP | 02/11/2018 |

From NW, estate road, via Craig Veann et al. The Eag is a nice feature worth a look. Path down's a bit intermittent but OK. | RHW | 06/07/2013 |
