although on the os maps there is no path to this hill i can now say the estate or windfarm has put in a road that has less pot holes than the A9 on :) and it takes you to the topmikebeattie18/05/2023
2 of 3 bike round from balvraid.robertphillips04/12/2022
Got permission to park at Balvraid (NH829314). SSE up tk, drifted in with soft snow, to Carn a Choire Mhoir, then NE, but exhausting deep veg, interspersed with non-weight bearing drifts meant I bee-lined to tk jcn at NH852298, knee deep through melt water of the Allt Bruachaig, then on drifted-in tk to NH852304. Thin tks headed over Carn Leathan, but many peat hags filled with knee deep snowdrifts, worse than purgatory, to col at NH861313, more hags and drifts to meet new tk, more deep drifts on tk to Carn an t-Sean-liathanaich. Back to col, hoping for an easy walk down forest road, but no, two more kms of post-holing purgatory. Should have taken my snow shoes, but the drifts were not visible from low down. One of my roughest journeys in 50 years. Tough country for old men.Isbjorn27/02/2022
Looped round from Carn a Choire Mohr. Track to within 50 mts from top. Huge peat hacks next to top. Then back to Balvraid via forestry track. Met the estate owner again. Had I had a good day? he enquired. Most definitely yes.Campbell Singer29/09/2021
a fine day, lots of new hill tracks to confuseoatcake24/04/2021
Parked at Balvraid walk up through the Forrest, on the 1.25 map it shows a track turning east at 861314 and stopping after 200m this track now goes to about 869315. a short walk to the summit which now as a new track just south of the summit. visited with big J, good viewsNozzer17/03/2021
Great day.BigJ17/03/2021
From Balvraid. Carn an t-Sean-liathanaic and Carn a' Choire Mhoir. All on tracks (shown on Viewranger) except for final 300m to first summit.PGCE21/10/2020
From Balvraid Lodge took car to gate just before bridge, track into forest to side track just before a stream, Followed this to point due west of summit where, at a stream crossing, there is a very obvious break in the trees Compass bearing a degree or two south of due east and then used my eyes to pick out the high point. Not easy but did find what did in the end look like the high point and fitted the description. No cairn but a close packed group of four stones which may once have been. Bearing and paced distance also spot on when I counted it on return leg.dickscroop08/04/2019
From Balvraid. Leave main forest road immediately after small bridge near Glenkirk.mae20/11/2018
