Followed the same route as Carole Engel, from the car park near Luiblea off A 86 in Glen Spean. Solo. 12.8km, with 340m of ascent. | Man of Kernow1 | 28/10/2023 |
Followed Carol Engel's route. Good tracks, nice wide firebreaks and very dry underfoot today. Last section steep up grassy bits between rocks. 8 miles. | JulieB | 29/05/2023 |
From CP to NE (NN 433 831). Excellent smooth track to firebreak at NN 4252 7974 - would be easy bike. Second firebreak at NN 4233 7960 | carole engel | 05/05/2023 |
Cycled to NN424796 and walked SW then N up firebreaks and then steeply to trig just before sunset. En route Edinb to Skye. High broken cloud, summits clear, not raining. Time includes bike. Total walking time 34mins. | Rounsfell | 12/02/2023 |
From lay by on A86 by bridge. Via tracks and fire break at 425 801. Visited all summit contenders. With Lisa and Daniel. | CJM | 23/01/2023 |
From the layby then via good estate tracks to the very evident fire break at 425 801. I followed this until the start of the tree felling and then struck up easy slopes to the rugged summit plateau avoiding any forestry area. Panoramic views from the summit. | Peterb | 11/04/2021 |
Route as per Owen B. At NN425801 Corrour Estate appear to have put a pile of stones over roadside ditch to ease access into forest break. | willyross | 22/02/2021 |
From A86 lay by. Normal route via Torgulbin, good forestry tracks to 425801 then up the fire break to the narrowest point of the forestry to emerge with a brief plod up the steep, snowy, heathery slope to the interesting summit area. Beautiful views with higher hills in all directions on a clear, windy, cold, showery day. Much better than expected. With TH, PJ, AM. | Owen B | 20/02/2020 |
P by A86 near Luiblea. Used firebreak starting at NN 4252580076, then a couple of very short bits of tree bashing to reach open hillside. Excellent hill with super views. Visited the little top at NN 4199280028, which has a large mossy cairn - This top looks very prominent from CP. A better than expected hill walk. | ger | 09/11/2019 |
And no, you are not allowed to drive up the track. Parked at the track junction and, a few minutes later, I had a nice conversation with Corrour's forestry manager. He was very kind and gave me permission after a bit of a lecture, and also showed me his forestry map so I could see where the firebreaks are. Basically, I followed the route up a stream parallel with the fence, at the junction between the felled area and old trees. Squeezed through the fence wires fairly easily, then easily through the trees and bits of open ground to the summit ridge. Over a couple of bumps to the top. Back the same way on a bearing through the trees. Good views but rough underfoot. | Gill | 06/11/2019 |
Parked at Luiblea -433830. Good route to 423795 and then head up the ride just before or just after the quarry. Steep climb to summit but great views. Solo. | bolton | 03/11/2019 |
Route as Coinneach 3 hours | rogreeves | 12/09/2019 |
Parked at layby on A87 beside track to Corrour-NN433/831. Good track to NN4236/7958 then narrow but easy forest ride gives short/steep access to top. | dave g | 01/06/2019 |
Pleasant summit on a warm sunny calm day. Between the forestry track and the summit area was less pleasant. Up a ride from the east. | Jon F | 31/03/2019 |
Parked in layby and walked along very good forest roads, passing gate at deer fence then bearing right at junction and proceeding until new deer fence appears on left. When this fence bends away from track, take the large firebreak opposite which leads to open hillside, ridge and summit. | Coinneach | 13/11/2018 |
From road near Luiblea. Left tracks around NN424800 after passing through gate in deer fence. Followed fence initially before making for pt.421 (Creagan an Fhradhraic) along fire breaks. Minor tree bashing to gain open ground and traverse to summit. | raffemeister | 12/09/2018 |
From parking area on A86 at SW end of Loch Laggan. Bike up forest track then on foot up forest break thence to summit. Recorded route and write-up at: http://gayleybird.blogspot.com/2018/05/binnein-shios-binnein-shuas-and-meall.html | Gayle | 15/05/2018 |
Cold day with a lot of snow on the ground, good views | Nozzer | 06/02/2018 |
Bagging the trig. Nice winter conditions. | BigJ | 06/02/2018 |
2 of 3: From A86: Luiblea layby. | ChrisR | 03/10/2017 |
From layby on A86 near Luibea. Forest track to the east ridge, lots of felling and small hydro scheme activity. Left track after crossing high fence near GR 425804, thin trees into open clearing up the east ridge, then open hillside to summit. Return via north slopes using a large fire break, very boggy in places back to track. With Kenny Robb | N.Morters | 07/08/2017 |
Solo cycle + jog up from Luiblea. | amswanston | 07/04/2017 |
Solo trip | Invicta14 | 26/06/2016 |
Drove into forest, parked below where hydro works going on. Walked in to where the ride heads up hill and enjoyed the complex summit area. | nordicstar | 14/03/2016 |
Beautiful spring day, warm and sunny. Lovely views all round. A bit of a mess on the forest tracks due to felling and hydro scheme. | jenx | 14/03/2016 |

With GHC from Tulloch Hostel. Warm and sunny. Perhaps two separate tops? | Play2End | 20/04/2014 |
From parking area on A86 along track, up firebreak and over to the summit. | AndrewFinnimore | 22/08/2013 |
Via firebreak starting at track at 425801, firebreak is obstruted by a few fallen trees but these can be bypassed. With Edward from Seattle USA (note the date!) | Topographer57 | 04/07/2013 |
With Mora, from Luiblea | BLACKHILL | 23/04/2013 |
Well defended by conifers - check position of firebreaks in advance - not obvious, need to go a few hundred m further S than you'd expect, then fork R along wet tussocky ride, then sharp R up narrow break. | RHW | 25/03/2012 |
Ewan and Suilven - | donmeister | 02/01/2012 |
Staying Corrour cottages. Watch for forest break, easy then. Sun and rain, strong cold wind, good views. | iangalbraith | 24/05/2011 |
From Luiblea along forest track and up through trees to the clear area NE of the summit. Easy descent to the west | Gallovidian | 07/08/2010 |
An interesting ascent through the forest and a pleasant summit and viewpoint. | JohnW | 02/05/2006 |
Parked at layby for Luiblea. On forest roads for 2 miles, then less used track to a gap in trees to right on treacherous surface and right turn at top of rise to see heather covered top. Faint track sharply uphill to col and right to visible cairn and hags and swamp to Vanessa 10758 at 11.10. | arranc | 23/06/2003 |
Out and back from midge invested Lochan Earba wild camp. | Eddie | 18/08/2000 |
