Mid afternoon, up the good track from the northwest to the summit trig pillar S7520, ADCC, and backvegibagger23/02/2024

3 of 3 bike round from balvraid.robertphillips04/12/2022
With Rhona and Struie. Unseasonably warm day. Parked at Balvraid and made into a round to come back down Allt Bruachaig valley. All good tracks.DampandDusty27/03/2022
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
From an avenue of trees just before Balvraid. Bumped into the estate owner. Charming man and very helpful. Then met up with a large partridge shooting party. Very cooperative. Let me past and out of range before commencing firing, thank goodness!Campbell Singer29/09/2021
Visited with Alma Aurea. Completed the challenge series (GC) nearby and detoured to the trig point. Great views.meltdiceburg21/07/2021
a fine day. lots of new hilltracks on this estateeoatcake24/04/2021
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
Quick leg stretch to break a long trip from the north west. Super track all the way. Fine memorial to a lost aircraft at the summit. They are rearing grouse here on an industrial scale, so there is likely frequent shooting. Lots of tracks not on map.hils14/09/2020

1 of 5: From Balvraid.ChrisR22/03/2018
Parked at Balvraid and were informed by a lady feeding her chickens that there may be shooting on the hill, she understood the right to roam but just wanted us to be aware....we didn't see any signs of shooting but did hear some off in the distance. Easy enough walk up a good path all the way to the trigpoint. Very snowy and icy in places and very windy at the top, everyone was very grateful for Ken's shelter. Worth a look at the memorial too.thejackrustles02/12/2017
from Slochd summit on good track most of way then easy off path walking. A track next to summit, not on my map, seemed to offer an easy way back but veered off east. Would have got me back but not worth the extra distance as I had a train to catch.dickscroop23/10/2017
Lovely hill, good track all the way, lots of wildlife, great view, memorial cairn, accidentally found a geocache near summit.alda24/03/2017
