| Parked in a lay-by just S of the Glenfenzie track. Big track leads off this up to Scraulac then ridge top ATV route to Cairnagour Hill and Mona Gowan. Another track northwards to collect Meikle Charsk Hill before doubling back to Gowan and round the Slacks of Glencarvie on smaller paths to Mullachdubh. We found another ATV route which took us SW and over the Allt a' Bhreabair, which unfortunately required a bit of a re-climb to get on to a track between Mona Gowan and Tom Liath. Once the latter in the bag we rejoined the track all the way back to Glenfenzie. 4 hrs. | summitter | 16/11/2023 |

| Parked near bridge over Allt Glas-choille on A939, walked along road past ruins at Glenfenzie up to near top of hill. Up through heather for last bit. Gas gun operating near here. | 187lenny | 25/04/2021 |
| Work until 3pm at Crathie then a calculated fast race against time for a round of 5 tops with just 2 hours of daylight remaining - as clocks went back yesterday. High road start (initially in rain - full waterproofs) from Glenfenzie at 3.30pm. 2km & 250m climb on ATV track up ridge through short heather and bog to main watershed ridge on Scraulac (4.01pm), jogged the downhills & flat to Mona Gowan (4.24pm), then easy going but further than was handy, to end Simm of Mullachdubh (4.42pm) -rewarded by moody, now dry, end of day clouds and shafts of sinking low sunlight (dark in 30 mins when the name Mullachdubh -black hill - would become very appropriate) -pushed hard on rough contouring to add Tom Liath as daylight ebbed (5.19pm) - too dark now to see watch face but white moss on here and puddled tracks conveniently reflecting enough light in half moon to guide a fast walk back to road (5.50pm) without the need to use the torch - being more atmospheric as well. | Chris Pearson | 26/10/2020 |

| My reward for mucking out the house and baking bread: 3 bee stings from the hot-arsed little brutes in the hives alongside the Glen Fenzie track. Apparently, these hives are notorious locally for aggressive bees. Other than that, it's a lovely, circular short stroll down to the stream, ford, up the shooting track on the S ridge then a narrow path over the top and down the N ridge to the return track. Heather in full bloom. | Gill | 07/08/2020 |
