Carrbridge

Parked on the east side of the B9007 Carrbridge to Forres Road in the lay-by at Beum a’ Chlaidheimh and walked east on what appeared to be a path but it soon came to an end. We then descended steeply through long heather into a gorge then through more long heather, rocks and some bog as we ascended the North-West Top of Creag Ealraich. We then descended south-west then south before ascending through some rocks to the summit of the Tump, Creag an Righ.

From here we headed through rocks then some rough vegetation before ascending Creag Ealraich where apparently the highest point of this Hump was a rock (there were several) beside the cairn. We descended the north ridge before cutting over to the lay-by on theB9007, re-crossing the gully used at the start.
