Mountain Description
Seana Bhraigh is one of the most remote Munros. The minor second peak of Seana Bhraigh (906m) is at the NW margin of a high plateau with gentle inclines, and from here a broad ridge leads NW to the summit. The N slopes are steep with crags higher up and the W slopes are very steep with crags at the head of Cadha Dearg. There are four main ridges, NW curving N to Meall nam Bradhan giving an ascent route from Glen Douchary, NE to minor top (760m) giving an ascent route from the path from Strath Mulzie, the Creag an Duine ridge NNE gives an ascent route for scramblers, and finally a broad ridge SSE to Meall Feith na Slataich (ca760m) which is accessible from the Inverlael in the W on the path through Coire an Lochain Sgeirich

Re Mike's comments (20-Oct-07) on features that aren't on the map - add a small lochan just below Eididh nan Clach Geala! (Actually there might've been two - the mist was a bit thick...) I agree with David (25-Jul-07) that Creag an Duine is a must - but the Inverlael approach is also a fab day! Especially if you continue southwards to Meall nan Ceapraichean and finish down the magnificent Gleann na Sguaib. The landscape - especially the Cadha Dearg - is incomparably better than it looks on the map. On the whole, a day for which I am bereft of superlatives.

If coming in from the south then its worth including Eididh nan Clach Geala on your way back. There are a lot of unmarked cliffs dotted around the 806m spot height, be careful in poor visibility!

You can drive from Oykel Bridge to Corriemulzie Lodge in about 30 minutes but the track is pot holed and loose surfaced in places. Any vehicle with low suspension (like mine) risks grounding. A 4WD will have no problems. The bike ride from the lodge to the foot of the mountain is a real combination bone shaker and water splash though only one of the many fords proved to be unrideable. The ascent of the hill by the NE ridge is a simple trudge but worth it for the stunning views of the northern corrie. A more challenging ascent is by the NW ridge but be prepared for some exposure.
