A more straightforward munro day today as I have to drive home this evening. Beinn an Dothaidh West Top and summit, Beinn Dorain North Top and summit, but I did make an extension to Meall Tionail which I enjoyed, some good views walking around what is probably the more dramatic side of the range. Notes: An easier crossover from Beinn an Dothaidh than it looked. As with that one, I thought the views were better from this summit than the main one. /Dmeltdiceburg18/06/2023

With friend. From Bridge of Orchy railway station. We walked under the railway line at the station and up the path to Coire an Dòthaidh and the col at 744m. Snow was lying at and above the col. We went south following a path, but deviated off it when it became unclear where it was going. We reached the subsidiary top and then the summit of Beinn Dorain. We returned to the col, taking a somewhat more direct line to the col. We continued to Beinn an Dòthaidh, Beinn a’ Chuirn and Beinn Mhanach, reaching the road near Auch.pwbellarby06/11/1999
