Conachcraig, Lochnager and the 4 other White Mounth Munros from Bridge of Muick, 20 miles.Gary Heath30/05/2023
With Eve. Third summit of the day. Most Western summit on the Mounth gave wide views from Glen Shee peaks in the South to the granite behemoths of the Cairngorms to the North. Our route over the plateau and over the next two munros was clear from this point.RufusHodge26/05/2023
Parked at the Spittal of Glenmuick (£5 cash/card in machine). Took the track on the N side of loch and up to above the Falls of the Glasallt from where a stalkers path goes up the SE ridge to Creag a Ghlas-uillt. From there the walk around the top of Allt an Dubh-loch valley opens up - Eagles Rock, Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach, Carn an t-Sagairt Beag, Carn an t-Sagairt Mor, Fafernie, Cairn Bannoch, Cairn of Gowal, Creag an Dubh-loch, Broad Cairn - and follows the track back down on the S side of Loch Muick. Long day with a cold wind but wonderful views. With Gillian, Tony, Richard and Denise, although R&D split off at times with different peak objectives, meeting up again finally below Broad Cairn.richard6918/04/2023
With Chattos in low cloud, soft snow, no views from Cairn Bannoch. Summit area has levelish short grass, after small rock band. Derek cheered up after he found aircraft wreckage on descent path. Descended on excellent stalkers' path to the Auchallater Lodge Bothy at NW end of Loch Callater- where met Walkers and Gordons- and descended Glen Callater track ( Jock's path) to car.Denise 17/04/2023

With Nicky Creadland and Skye (her dog), we cycled up Glen Callater to the lodge. Then hiked up onto Carn an t-Sagairt Mor, my 182nd Munro, then north past some aircraft wreckage to Carn an t-Sagairt Beag, Munro Top. And clockwise around to Carn a' Choire Bhoidheach, we had a look over the north corries below The Stuc. Then contoured around the northwest slopes of the previous two hills, to rejoin the outward route. Now only 99 Munros left to go....chillyman808/10/2022
