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: They say this is a good mountain to view from the road, from here the view of the road is probably not so exciting! But there are good views, just a little hazy now. /D | meltdiceburg | 18/06/2023 |

Ascent of Beinn Dorain and Beinn an Dothaidh from the Bridge of Orchy Hotel car park. Beinn Dorain is a fine mountain walk but Beiin an Dothaidh was a grassy boggy plod. but with good views obver to Rannoch Moor. | knarf | 11/09/2020 |

Ace day with Joe. From Bridge of Orchy, up Beinn Dorain to Beinn an Dothaidh, continued onto Beinn Achaladair. Climb up to Beinn a' Chreachain looked daunting but was actually fine. Then descended to Lon na Cailliche via 813m spot height. Slogged up to Beinn Mhanach and descended to the south to track to meet West Highland Way back to Bridge of Orchy. | JonathanConey | 06/07/2019 |

From Bridge of Orchy (NN 29722 39547) - Coire an Dothaidh - Carn Sasunnaich - Beinn Dorain - Coire Reidh - Beinn an Dothaidh West Top - Beinn an Dothaidh. Back to Bridge of Orchy via Coire Reidh & Coire an Dothaidh. Path to Coire an Dothaidh badly eroded and very boggy in places. Blizzard conditions on the summits, deep drifts in places, navigation challenging! | david230201 | 08/05/2019 |

Summits of Beinn Dorain and Beinn an Dothaidh from Bridge of Orchy via Coire an Dothaidh | Crib Goch | 27/05/2018 |
Solo, running, glorious blue sky, sunshine, firm snow. The long ridge S to bag Dorain was trying, with softer snow, ups and downs, seemed a very long way. Way back N not so bad, and descent very pleasant knowing what I'd achieved, though R eye had a pink tinge for next few days as I hadn't worn sunglasses, d'oh! Back to BoO Hotel, one of their new outside rooms where I'd argued and got a special wifi router! | NorfolkPT21 | 01/04/2018 |
Cloudy with rain on and off. Gale force wind and rain and summit, low cloud so no views. | anderson24 | 19/10/2017 |
