Hillwalking routes up Tom Buidhe

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.

Ascent : 1375m (4510ft)
Distance : 26km (16m)
Time : 9hr

	Tolmount With its summit overlooking the crags at the head of Glen Callater, Tolmount is an otherwise mainly grass-covered Munro summit surrounded by the higher peaks of Lochnagar and Glenshee.
	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.
	Broad Cairn Broad Cairn is a rocky Munro summit above Loch Muick in Royal Deeside. Sitting above undulating grassy plains and amongst other Munro peaks, the descent down Broad Cairn's boulderfield will test tired legs.
	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.
	Mayar Mayar is a grass-covered lump sitting above the winter corries of Glen Fee and forested Glen Doll. Often walked with its neighbour Driesh, these Munros make for a fairly easy day out.

	Lochnagar Raid High above Royal Deeside, Lochnagar with its vast cliffs looks down into dark corries and deep lochans. This peak is the dominant mountain in a superb high-level area which boasts 5 Munros which we'll aim to bag over a summer day. Dates and more information »
	Glenshee Munros South of Braemar, Glenshee splits the vast 'Mounth'. We're here for 2 days of guided hiking up the high mountains in this area, bagging up to 9 Munros. We'll be hiking along wide plateaux and rugged terrain tracing the remains of old walls and reaching fine vantage points. Dates and more information »
	Glen Ey - bike-hike from Braemar 2 days of biking along fine tracks to the remains of remote hunting lodges then hiking up grassy slopes to Munro summits with panoramic views over the Cairngorms and beyond. Dates and more information »

Alternatively, if you would like a bespoke event organised to reach the summit of this mountain, we would be delighted to put together something for you and your group. Check out our Bespoke Guiding page for more information.
