Bac an Eich from car park at end of public road at Loch Beannacharain, with John. Did clockwise circuit back along road to Inverchoran then followed track through Glenn Chorainn. At Torran Ceann Liath, headed N then E then N to Bac an Eich summit. Head WSW down to Drochaid Coire Mhadaidh and then followed the path around to Corrievuic and then the road back to the car. Blue skies, and snow above 400m - deep in places, but it made for stunning mountain views in all directions. Total time 5h 54min. | mproudfoot | 24/02/2024 |
From Inverchoran with D, Dave. SW up Gleann Chorainn to the col on a good path and then an intermittent track up the south slope. Mist and some drizzle that cleared periodically. 6 hours. | bolton | 18/02/2024 |

With John on our 9th anniversary from Braigh an Leitre in Strathconon. A great day. Sunshine and a few showers. Lovely stalkers path. Saw a few deer, and heard stags bellowing! Stunning views to Strathfarrar Munros and more widely. | Veryhappybunny | 28/09/2021 |
From Loch Beannacharain. Track and bridge to Corriefeol. Hints of a path up the north side of Allt Coire Dhugaill, crossing above the ravine, about 520m asl. Steeply WSW to join the NW ridge, easy going from there. Descended steeply north to the small lochan, then NW to Coire Dhugaill, but plenty of peat hags this way. Then retraced steps. Sunny, light wind, a bit hazy. 900th Marilyn. | Owen B | 23/09/2021 |
