Parked at the lay by on the east side of the A83 and followed the grassy path by the old stone bridge, part of the old military road from Perth to Braemar. Headed E up the glen of the Allt a Garbh-choire. The climb was hard going but we finally made the summit of Carn an Tuirc,1019m. Took a few pics before we headed E then SE crossing the vast plateau and followed the path. Followed a line of fence posts and a drystone wall to the summit of Cairn of Claise, 1064m Headed SW along the broad ridge and stopped for a bit to eat then a gentle ascent to the summit of Glas Maol,1068m. Few pics then we were off heading W and then S over Bathach Beag to the bealach 932m and shelter. Headed over Cul Riabach on the ridge and ascended to the stoney summit of Creag Leacach, 987m and our 4th and final Munro of the day. Headed back N to the W slope of Glass Maol the picked up the path NW to Meall Odhar 922m. Then headed W down the land rover track beside the ski paraphenelia and heather bashed N then over onto the A93 and a short walk back to the start. Popped in for a coffee in the Glenshee ski centre and then headed back down the roadt. Summits were clear with sunny spells and light rain towards the end of the walk.
