The landrover track is useful for navigation, and makes for an easy start to a long hill day. Carn an Righ is very remote and the return
trip down Glen Taitneach is 11km, all but the last 5 or so tough walking over peat hags, rough country, and a steep descent into the
glen. It is a great hike but hard going in parts, and makes this a major day out which took me just under 10 hours. That said the climb to
Carn an Righ and the views from there make it well worthwhile. Beinn a'Ghlo looks majestic, and the dramatic view up to the Lairig
Ghru just before the climb to Carn an Righ a big surprise.

Has to be one of the most straight forward Munros to walk as there is a motorway style path all the way from Dalmunzie to the summit.Personally, this takes much away from being in a wild place but another approach route could be taken.Upside is that rapid progress can be made on this wide track.Views from the summit are extensive but somehow everything seems distant.After clearing Carn an Righ there is a great walk from there to Loch nan Eun.Then into the very scenic and long.Gleann Taitneach back to Dalmunzie.Please not there are heavy restrictions during the stalking season except on weekends.

Parking at the hotel is now £2.50. They do invite you back for tea or coffee once you have finished your walk.

Staff at the hotel where we parked were very friendy (only £2 to park and they took details of where you were going and an
emergency contact number and then said we were welcome to come back for tea/coffee etc after our walk). Great path all
the way to the top - beautiful glen with disused railway line, river, ruined shooting lodge, waterfall etc....all very scenic.
Wide, ugly landrover track all the way from the lodge to the trig point at the summit.

Definitely one to climb after a hard frost! Something extremely satisfying about being able to stand on the same bog which would suck your legs off in the autumn. Lovely friendly staff at the hotel...take a bike if you don't want to pay £2...it's a long walk from Spittal otherwise!

Park at the Dalmunzie Hotel (£2 parking). On reflection the ascent up the SE ridge will give better views of the mountain although will be a slog at first until the broad ridge is gained.

Turned up at hotel very early in the winter a few years ago.
Offered to pay my two quid with a 20quid note and got told just to park for free by the staff :)

Walkers Parking area (free) provided just inside gates of Driveway to Dalmunzie hotel, if you park 1 mile up road at hotel you have to pay at reception. Superb track up ridge after ruined lodge on good gradient to near summit of Glas T. Superb views of Beinn A'Ghlo to the West

I am current running a experiment on the likely effects of global warming on mountain vegetation near the summit of Glas Tulaichean, if people would like to know more they can go to http://www.abdn.ac.uk/~soi486/project.html , I would also like to apologise if people find it visually intrusive.
