Beinn Dearg Mheadhonach and Beinn Dearg Mhor from Sligachan. | rhalstead | 16/06/2023 |
Parked at NG 5311 2799 for a circuit of Ciche na Beinne Deirge and Beinn Dearg Mheadhonach. Started by walking down road to track and gate through fence. Then up Bruach nam Bo. Returned same way. | PGCE | 29/05/2023 |
The Red Cuillin ridge from Sligachan. Up the lovely Druim na Ruaige ridge to Beinn Dearg Mheadhonach then a quick down and back up Ciche na Beinne Deirge. Next the big boys ... Beinn Dearg Mhor and Glamaig before a descent to the A87 via An Coileach. Although a three mile walk back along the A87 to Sligachan was required due to no one picking up hitch-hikers any more, it did not spoil a fabulous walk. 6.5 hrs total. | summitter | 21/05/2023 |

A morning round from the road to the north: Beinn Dearg Mhor, Beinn Dearg Mheadhonach and down by scree from near the col between them, quite step but OK. Started out with cloud down to road level, found I had cracked my compass and lost the fluid so not working. Guessed I would be Ok for a straightforward route so ploughed up through the cloud only to come out into glorious sun at about 550 metres, a sea of cloud below me with 7 'island' peaks sticking up througnh it, a classic temperature inversion - brilliant and solved my compass problem. | dickscroop | 03/06/2018 |
