| 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 |
| Parked at Cuileig Power Stn entrance (NH 1903 7823). Track to pwr stn then old, dilapidated FB over R. Broom (take life in own hands!). Carn Breac Beag, Carn Breac Meadhonach, Carn Breac Mor, Carn Mhic Ruairidh and Meall Glac Tigh-fail first then across to here. Took a line down towards Auchlunachan picking up the Coffin Road at NH 1750 8348 for a walk out to Inverbroom Lodge and a drive round to collect the car. | jonglew | 02/12/2022 |

| Roadside parking near Inverbroom bus shelter, followed Coffin Road to around 380m then struck off to Carn Dearg tump on fairly easy ground. Then southwards to marilyn Meall Glac Tigh-fail. Thereafter headed NE towards Coffin Road and then back to car. Unfortunately cloud level at around 800m limited views of higher hills around. | willyross | 17/12/2021 |
