Glen Tilt and the River Dee are the natural boundaries to this area whose eastern edge is the A924/A93 road from Pitlochry to Braemar. Eleven Munros and a large number of other peaks above 600m are in the mountains list, with the tallest being Carn nan Gabhar at 1121m, part of the Beinn a’Ghlo massif. This area is the western Peaks to the west of Glen Tilt are listed in the Glen Tromie to Glen Tilt area.
The first day of "The Blair Atholl Project". Three of us took the train to Blair Atholl and a taxi up to as far as we could get in the proximity of Beinn a'Ghlo on the evening of 16th December 2006. We had tents with us but found an open old Grouse shed to sleep the night. It was f*cking freezing. We rose very early in the morning because we were f*cking freezing and I (stupidly) put on way too many layers. We completed the three Munros of Beinn a'Ghlo in pretty grim conditions - but we were all leading sections and had previously agreed and planned the route together taking into account everyone's thoughts and suggestions. As we dropped down to Glen Tilt the weather dramatically improved and had a pleasant stroll along the river. We continued to Carn a'Chlamain that day but I've have to register this in the second day of the expedition... The steep ascent to Carn a'Chlamain was tiring and I was starting to feel my mind wondering. I knew I was becoming hypothermic. However I managed to co-navigate down to the Tarf Hotel Bothy and even take in some of the stunning weather that had come over as the sun was setting. It was generally an easy plod down gentle slopes with a few river crossings. However by the time I got to the bothy I was going properly hypothermic and couldn't take my boots off.
