| Parked at the Inverbroom bus stop and followed the Coffin Road path until reached a gate NE of Carn Dearg. Followed the fence from here to near the summit. After Carn Dearg it was heather tramping and pool hopping to Meall Glac Tigh-fail, Carn Mhic Ruairidh, Carn Breac Mor, Carn Breac Meadhonach and finally Carn Breac Beag, only the great view to An Teallach and the England v Pakistan World Cup commentary distracting me from the relative tedium of this terrain. We returned to the start via the old stalkers path that starts/ends ENE of Carn Breac Mor. Not much of a path until you reach the Altan Odhar gorge down to Auchlunachan. 5 hours. | summitter | 11/11/2023 |
