| Carn na Caim, A'Bhuidheanach Mhor & Bheag by obvious route from Layby 87, with SHC. | TRG318 | 07/07/2024 |

| Third of Four summits to reach Two Munro’s and their subsidiary tops, from the lay by on the A9 a Fifteen mile hike with 3500ft of ascent and taking Six and half hours. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 18/05/2024 |
| First munro day of the year, with Alma Aurea. A beautiful day forecast, so we climbed Carn na Caim South Top (914.6m), Carn na Caim (Munro, 940.8m), A' Bhuidheanach (881.1m) and A' Bhuidheanach Bheag (Munro, 936m). Sunny most of the day, clear summits and some snow to enhance the views, but not too much to spoil them. Beautiful 360 views of all the surrounding munro ranges. A drop and pull back up, made harder by slightly more snow in this bit, but another beautiful summit when we arrived. /D | meltdiceburg | 31/03/2024 |
| A' Bhuidheanach Bheag from layby on A9. | JasonStark | 06/01/2024 |

| After Cairn a Caim, walked south along the ridge. Amazingly the low cloud lifted and rain stopped. There’s actually a path all the way but you have to turn off the main track ( to stay on the mapped track) at nn658793 cairn, not obvious. This takes you down to a place where you can ford the stream easily before ascending to the summit trig. Returned same way to layby on Drummochter Pass | Denise | 04/10/2023 |
| Parked at A9 layby. Carn na Caim S Top, Carn na Caim, A'Bhuidheanach Bheag and A'Bhuidheanach on the way back. Very wet underfoot, showery and tops in cloud initially, clearing a little later. With Gillian and Denise. | richard69 | 04/10/2023 |

| With Sunny and Iain Carn na Caim & A' Bhuidheanach Bheag | Huwel | 11/07/2020 |
| An ambitious start to combine this with its next door neighbour. Setting off from lay by 88 buffeted by speeding traffic we ascended the Land Rover track which rapidly became snow covered and a steady breeze helped us up the hill whilst cooling us s as well. Reaching the plateau the packed snow and drifting cloudy made views patchy.. The long trudge across the snowy undulations using sight and compass in this featureless landscape a surreal experience. A line of iron fence posts led us directly to the trig point. Icy winds and drifting spindrift were a major feature. All clothing was donned to keep us at operating temperature. The return walk was exhausting the day was advancing and so we decided to leave the plateau with one summit and head for the car and the surprising Scottish victory over the French at rugby. | david.walker40 | 08/03/2020 |
