With Carn Salachaidh. Biked in via the delightful Glen Calvie, visited this glen last year for the Corbett and was keen to return. 25km in total, 20km on good tracks. looking down on the book route, it didnt look very appealing. The return cycle was fabulous, barely turned a pedal, zoooom...Look out for the tame deer at the calvie gate, was there last time as well, lovely friendly hind.hils06/08/2022
As Gill and JulieB, except used a bike to Lochain a'Chairn. Gloriously sunny.iangalbraith22/03/2022
From N starting at Gruinards, following track initially, then rougher ground on ascent to Carn a' Bhealaich. On to Carn Salachaidh with its rock tor summit, then Carn Bhrain, Carn a' Chlaiginn. Descending traverse on N side of hills quite pleasant to return to end of track at stream crossing. Good views, as far as Assynt.RobertP11/11/2021

Roadside parking at NH 5476 9083. Progressively deteriorating atv track to NH 5439 9003. Continued on faint track for 200m then took a fairly direct line up and over Breac Leathad and on to here. Tough going in high heather and deep snow. On to Salachaidh. With Carole Engel.jonglew04/04/2018
