10 hills today, should have been 11, but I didn't cross the deer fence. From Ben Lawers car park (£3). Meall nan Tarmachan S Top, Meall nan Tarmachan, Meall Garbh, Beinn nan Eachan E Top, Beinn nan Eachan, Creag na Caillich, all on Munro motorway. Then went NW on faint animal track to Meall Ton Eich, and back to .796 Creag na Caillich W Top, no real path but grassy hillside, no heather so easy going. Straight down to Beallach & up Meall Dhuin Croisg E Top & Meall Dhuin Croisg. Back to Beallach trying to avoid Crags. SE then to pick up path to Dam. Made the effort to climb Meall Liath on walk out but failed to cross deer fence so missed it by about 20m. There was a ladder stile too. 21km, 1100m climb 10/11 hills un sunshine with friends. Not too bad.Lynnebe19/07/2023

Hot day, great walk. Drove up the Glen Lochay hydro road as far as possible then followed the old drovers road across meadow, railroad sleepers and steel girders to the ghost village of Shielings, then an easy steady ascent along the southern ridge of Beinn nan Oighreag. Took a direct easterly descent to, the probably boggy most of the year, Lairig Bhreislich, which was straightforward in super dry conditions, to enable an assault on the northern ridge of Meall Ton Eich. From there it was onwards to Creag na Caillich, giving a spectacular view of the Tarmachan ridge. But, we headed home via the less dramatic but equally undulating Creag na Caillich west and the two Meall Dhuin Croisg tops. A westwards descent got us back to the drovers track and the eventual mid-summer delights of an ice-cold diet coke and choc-ice in Killin.summitter30/05/2020
