Parking in big bay with black bollards (NN295975). SW over bridge to next tk S, up this SE, then zig zags up to hairpin at NN301959. Steep gravel tk leaves hairpin SW to treeline, then degrades into faint ATV up to deer fence at circa 550m contour – 2 x hurdles enable negotiation. Then easy to Leacann Doire Bainneir – the two tops are surprisingly prominent. E to fence, followed SE to bealach, left it L for Meall a Chobhlain. Magnificent view of freezing fog all the time above 400m. Much faster return same way – just followed my own tx in the thickly rime coated veg. | Isbjorn | 12/01/2024 |
Meall a’ Chromhlain, accessed via footbridge at 333930 not shown on 1:50k map. Cross to Beinn Bhan using an ATV track to help navigate the bog. (This whole route is very wet and full of peat hags.) Carn na Larach to Carn dearg (N). Easy walking to Glas Charn, which has great views. Cross to bealach between Carn Dearg (N) and Meallan Odhar keeping a high line to avoid the worst of the hags. From Meallan Odhar to Carn Dearg (S) and then on to Carn Dearg Beag and Glas Bheinn by obvious route. Descent to track by going roughly south to hit track at point where the Allt na Glas Bheinne meets it. The terrain on this slope is very benign, especially when compared with the rest of the route! Back to car by following the track. There is now a small mobile phone mast (satellite?) at the lodge; the phone box lower down the glen has been removed. | sarahk | 02/05/2023 |
