Solo. Achlean to Tom Dubh, Monadh Mor and Beinn Bhrotain. Heavy rain forecast in the morning but light showers in the afternoon. Summit intermittently clear on Tom Dubh but cloud down on the two munros. Strong winds dropping towards the end. Views much on the way out and back.

Good biking from Lin of Dee to White Bridge NN 019884. Cairn at NN 99704 89704 - up Allt Iarnaidh - for sketchy path to top Carn Cloich-mhuilinn after which very obvious to Beinn Bhrotain. Wouldn't recommend climb up to col between the two Munros (spot height 975) - very steep but might be possible up as grass

A long day out from Linn of Dee Car Park. Walked via Derry Lodge, Glen Luibeg, Corrour Bothy, Devil's Point, Cairn Toul, The Angel's Peak, Monadh Mor to get to Beinn Bhrotain then back over Carn Cloich-mhuilinn and White Bridge. Feet very tired at end especially along stony track. Good weather all day.

Munro no.122. Went from here on to Monadh Mor. En-route climbed over the former munro of Carn Cloich-mhuilinn. The view from the trig was extensive on what was a very clear day. Ben Cruachan could be spotted way to the south-west.

My Munro #205 Set off from a wild camp at the White Bridge, so cold overnight my boot laces were frozen solid! Followed the Geldie Burn W then headed N up the Allt Dhaidh Mor and up through thick fresh wet snow to the summit - hard going. Absolutely beautiful day...except at the actual summit, where the clag refused to shift. Then on to Monadh Mor, and an exhilarating descent down the snow covered slopes into Glen Geusachan and a return to the tent down Glen Dee. Tremendous stuff!

Cylindrical, vgc, no cap or plug - just 2 carnations! In shelter cairn. Fine remote hill, typical Cairngorm stony summit. Visited during the Rigby Round, covering 18 Munros & 75 miles, completed in just under 23 hours, in excellent weather.

OSBM.10763. The OSGB's highest Vanessa style pillar. Sixth highest of all OSGB36 triangulation pillars. Overall approach from the East. Parked in Linn of Dee car park. Followed the estate track to just beyond White Bridge, then took the footpath up west side of Glen Dee. Up over Carn Cloich-mhuillin and continued to Beinn Bhrotain. The Vanessa is in very good condition. The spider centre is open. The flush bracket faces west, compass measurement 274°. The back sighting hole is plugged, the other three are open. Views lost to cloud down on day of visit.

Cycled to beyond White Bridge before taking to the hillside. Over Beinn Bhrotain and on to Monadh Mor, before along return down Glen Geusachan. Bike had a malfunction on way back to car park - could only free wheel, not pedal.

Condition taken from photo. It also looks like a circular one. Near here was my lowest point - so far - on the hills. Cycled from Linn of Dee to NN998898, left bikes and walked up track to and then along Glen Geusachan. Decided to go straight up to Monadh Mor; I just ran out completely of energy. Contoured South as best I could to the col and up Bheinn Bhrotain so still have Monadh Mor to do.

first day and group hire bikes from Braemar, cycle from Linn of Dee 6 miles to White bridge and north to slopes under Beinn Bhrotain. Bumpy bike ride and haven't put on thermals and get pretty cold legs. Unexcercised lack of fitness in my muscles means they are spasming into cramp within 15 minutes of starting walking up the hill. Mega frustration. Have to let the others go on without me and slowly with many stops to furiously massage my aching muscles I eventually get to the summit of Beinn Bhrotain for a second time since a much fitter nearly 21 year old did it in 1973.

Long solo walk in from Linn of Dee to bag this munro and its neighbour Monadh Mor. Scared myself a bit by showing early signs of exposure at Loch nan Stuirteag just before entering the clouds. Had to stop for a bit and take some emergency measures before carrying on. A long, long day with new boots into the bargain. Not one to forget in a hurry!

From Achlean via the Moine Mhor and Tom Dubh. After a hot sunny day yesterday the weather suddenly went very wet and cold, and the clag came down. The SE Top had to be left and was done three weeks later from the Geldie Lodge side.

Beinn Bhrotain Not much to see.
