There were a few icy patches on the road as I drove north up Glen Roy from the A86 at Roy Bridge to park beside the bridge over the River Roy south-west of Brae Roy Lodge. I then crossed the frost covered bridge and walked up the north-east side of the Allt na Reinich where there were traces of a path.
The plan was to include a couple of minor tops before heading for the Corbett, Carn Dearg, so I soon left the path and as the sun rose on the nearby tops I made the steep climb north-east onto Sgurr an Fhithich.
Higher up the gradient eased as I made my way to the summit of this hill.
It was then an easy walk south in the sun across frozen ground to the col with Carn Dearg North Top followed by a steady climb to the summit of this Corbett Top.
A short descent south was followed by an easy ascent to the cairn marking the summit of the Corbett, Carn Dearg, where there was a light dusting of snow.
I descended north-west before making the easy climb to the summit of the Graham Top, Carn Bhrunachain.
The earlier sunny conditions had been replaced by high cloud as I headed south-west staying above the Corrie Dubh gullies before descending to the Allt Feith Bhrunachain. Here a stock fence, an ATV track, and the stream were crossed then it was a steady climb onto the flat summit of Leana Mhor and to the small cairn marking the high point of this Graham.
I then descended the fairly steep NNE ridge mainly on heather with traces of a path. Lower down I headed towards the hut at Brunachan before re-crossing the Allt Feith Bhrunachain. The walk north-east back to the bridge over the River Roy and the starting point was over a mixture of vegetation and terrain.
