Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn Bhreac is a twin peaked hill at the southern limit of the Moine Bhealaidh, a featureless moorland plateau at 850m altitude. Of the twin peaks, which are gentle rises of similar height, it is the E peak which is the higher by 4m. The E slopes into Dubh Ghleann are steep and in places rocky, as are those to the W beyond Craig Derry, but to the SW slopes are of moderate to gentle incline leading towards Derry Lodge

Beinn a' Chaorainn [Glen Derry] and Beinn Bhreac [Glen Derry]
|
This moderate route to two of the central Cairngorms requires endurance. The Moine Bhealach can be heavy going in wet weather. N.B. The route time can be shortened by cycling to Derry Lodge.

Climbed this with Beinn a'Chaorainn thinking it would be a nice summer walk. It was, and then some! Be prepared to have sore feet by the end of it. We didn't have bikes with us but it's a really easy cycle from the Linn of Dee car park to Derry Lodge, a total saving of 10km on the feet and a couple of hours walking.
