Carn Dearg Mor and Glen Feshie

[LeithySuburbs]

There is not really much to be said about Carn Dearg Mor. It is a fairly uninteresting lump on the west side of Glen Feshie. However, it's position means it offers a wonderful 360 degree panorama - east to the nearby Cairngorm massif and Lochnagar, south over the glacier sculpted Mounth, west to Creag Meagaidh and the Monadhliath.

The route I took is straightforward. Follow the path up the glen and cross the river at the now only bridge. Shortly after, head up the hillside next to a small stream and plantation to reach a landrover track. From here, follow the crest of the ridge over short heather and paths to the summit. The shortest route back is simply to retrace the outward route but a much better way is to drop down to the landrover track above Lochan an t-Sluic and walk back along beautiful Glen Feshie. The sun had come out for me and it was a stunning evening

Some lovely pictures there LS.
Some of these Corbetts are a long walk for a short ascent And there seems to be so many of them
Like me you made the best of the good weather on Sunday.

Carnachuin bridge should now be called Carnachuin Jetty

Yeah, it was a good day - I could see your hills in the distance. Great thing about the Corbetts is that, although the carpark was full, I did not see another soul all day once I left the main track in the glen.

Looks like the river levels have dropped a bit in a week

It's a wee cracker for views this one - mad a great winter walk last year.

Cheers for that - enjoyed the report
