Hillwalking routes up Tolmount

1. Glenshee 9 Munros »

The 9 Munros above Glenshee can be linked to form a long high-level hiking circuit. With generally grass covered slopes, this is one of the easier ways to go multi-Munro-bagging !

Ascent : 1690m (5540ft)
Distance : 30km (19m)
Time : 10:15hr

2. Carn an t-Sagairt Mor and Auchallater Munros »

Tracing an old drove road through Glen Callater, this is a fairly popular route up Carn an t-Saigart Mor and can be extended to include several other Munro summits encircling the glen.

Ascent : 1040m (3410ft)
Distance : 36km (22m)
Time : 9hr

3. Munros above Jock's Road »

Combining Driesh and Mayar with the Munros of Tom Buidhe and Tolmount to the north into one route makes for a delightful circuit over featureless grassy ground that will really test your navigation skills.

Distance : 26km (16m)

	Tom Buidhe At the head of Glen Doll, Tom Buidhe is an unassuming grass-covered rounded dome of a hill in remote high moorland. If it wasn't for a faint line of fence-posts, navigation would be really tricky !

	Cairn of Claise East of Glenshee, Cairn of Claise is a grass-covered dome with a bouldery top. A well-built wall running along the crest leads to the large cairn on the summit.

	Cairn Bannoch Cairn Bannoch is a grass covered and rather featureless lump with a rocky summit protruding through the wide crest. Being situated in amongst other Munros, you're unlikely to aim up this hill on its own.

	Carn an Tuirc The most northerly Munro in the Glenshee 9 circuit, Carn an Tuirc is a boulder-covered dome overlooking grassy slopes and the old military road in Glen Clunie.

	Carn an t-Sagairt Mor Carn an t-Sagairt Mor is a fairly featureless Munro west of Lochnagar. The sad plane-wreckage near the summit is a reminder of how difficult navigation can be in this area when mist is down.
