A long route that tests endurance, although there are no difficult ascents. The walk can be shortened by cycling to Derry Lodge.

I am reasonbly fit and this took me 8 hours going at a fairly fast pace and biking towards Luibeg Bridge. There is a reasonable path for cycling between derry lodge and Luibeg but it does have a steeper ascent than the road to derry lodge. Fantastic views and obvious paths all the way and if the bike chain hadn't broken!!! I would definately have done Braeriach as well to save a 10hr trek from the north another time, for what the map indicates is only a couple of hundred metres ascentl. As others have said miss Cairn Toul on the return journey.

A long approach, but worth it for the stunning scenery above Corrour. Returning from Sgor an Lochain Uaine, it is not necessary to re-ascend Carn Toul: from the col at GR958973 there is an easy, almost level, traverse across the SW slopes of Carn Toul to the col at GR 962968, saving about 150m of ascent, which is crucial at this stage of the day!

Long grinding walk, but worth it!
Ensure adequate water supply from stream at Coire Odhar before tackling rocky summits.

A long and grinding hike out to the bothy, once there the climb is great fun. I camped over night at the bothy and returned the next day as the hike back can be a bit boring and drawn out. I still can't think of a better way to spend a day though, the scenery is amazing, as is the wildlife, herds of deer roaming all over the valley.
