Walked up from the tourist info car park in Kingussie through the golf course. Turned up past Pitmain lodge on the way up and came down via a very interesting hut. Nice stone shelter at the top which was definitely needed to keep us out of the wind! Beautiful views Ona clear day although quite a damaged pillar.

Lots of damage to the bottom of the pillar ©EmmaMcBride1

My Corbett #92, Rosie's 91st. Anticlockwise circuit of the tracks, plenty of snow on the tracks which made ascent awkward but descent a joy. We'd driven 60miles east today to avoid the low cloud and rain in the west, a ploy that worked perfectly until we were within 5 minutes of the TP. Watching a TP vanishing into clag faster than you can get to it is pretty irritating! For the next half hour or so we spent on the summit the cloud came and went, but our summit photos weren't as good as they might have been had we got here 30 minutes earlier...

Followed track from centre of Kingussie all the way to summit via Beinn Bhreac. Descended Southeast to eventually meet up with outward route. Another beautiful blue sky day but a cheeky bitter wind on the summit reminding us that it's still winter on the hills.

Along with Nozzer, ascended from Kingussie. Gloriously sharp winters day but mist came down on the top. Lots of white hares, grouse and ptarmigan.

Visited whist doing walk 25 from the Jarrold series Cairngorms walks. A beautiful day ended up in very poor visibility and high winds. A bit of snow on the ground made it a little more interesting. Despite poor conditions, a really good walk. Me. 878m

I am suprised the camera didn't blow away! First time I have used waterproof trousers in years!©dpeberdy

Estate track all the way to the summit. Pillar damaged. Attempted FB theft failed - still secure. Chunk out of front RHS edge and LHS face. Neds probably committed their felony using stones from the windshelter which surrounds three sides of pillar. Spider open. FB faces 162°(SSE). Two sighting holes open, RHS & front. 360° panorama. During the Retriangulation of GB, the following primary stations were observed from here: PP356 Beinn Bhreac Mhor, PP342 Corryhabbie, PP332 Carn Gower, and PP335 Ben Alder.

Another one from my dim and distant past that I am only logging in 2004. My notes tell me the time to the summit but not the condition of the pillar. I saw long-tailed tits. I don't appear to have taken any photos of that day.
