An Socach & an Eastern Top
Attractive route up a minor munro An Socach avoiding the ski slopes of Glenshee by heading up by the side of Baddoch Burn then onto rough hillside. The descent is via the eastern ridge over the eastern top.
Carn a'Chlamain
Long route on easy terrain where a bike on the approach route will shorten route time considerably. This remote secluded hill is approx 2km northwest of Forest Lodge in Glen Tilte on a high plateau. Route follows a long ridge east of Allt Craoinidh starting from the Title road above the Marble Lodge.
There is a spectacular view at the plateau edge looking down a long steep face to the Tilt below.
Quite a long route taking in the 2 munros Glas Tulaichean & Carn an Righ situated in the remote area between the head of Glen Tilt and Glen Shee. The appoach to the hills is a long one but there's a track almost to summit of Glas Tulaichean. Carn an Righ has a much more remote feel to it.
There is parking available at the Dalmunzie Caslte Hotel where there's a small charge. This will cut the first two kilometres of the walk which is along the drive to the hotel.
This route take you over the two remote hills of Carn an Fhidhleir and An Sgarsoch which are along way from civilization on a good track. If you're making the long walk in this will be a long strenuous day; The use of a bike up to Geldie Lodge & beyond if determained along a landrover track will shorten the day considerably.
Carn Liath, Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain & Carn nan Gabhar
Three munros to the east of Glen Tilt offer a good circuit offering many remote peaks & corries over the highest points of the Forest of Atholl. Carn nan Gabhar is the highest and most remote. A good way to reach it is via the two munros (Carn Liath & Braigh Coire Chruinn-bhalgain) en route as listed below.
Beinn a' Ghlo is a classic scottish mountain route on moderate heather/grass slopes leading to stony summits.
Beinn Dearg route is a long approach on a good track through mostly straightforward terrain quite a bit of it can be cycled however the going is rough and steep in places. It is a long way from any public road, so the approach to the foot of Beinn Dearg take most of the effort and time on this route. Once at the bothy (470 metres) you're nearly there.
These hills can be climbed in various combinations usually starting from the Glenshee Ski Centre, the route here is better as it avoids the ski lifts and fences. It offers a circuit that covers six munros in quite an easy outing which is rare in the Cairngorms.
These 3 munros have been effected by the Glenshee ski development on the west site of the pass. However half an hour and all the ski lifts have vanished and with a start height elevation of 675m give 3 of the easiest munros to tick off.
