17.75 miles 4619ft walk, start at Glen Lochay NT carpark to Creag Mhor, Beinn Sheasgarnaich, Sron Nan Eun and Stob An Fhir-Bhogha. | stephenbuda | 16/09/2023 |
DRC walk from Lubreoch Power Station. After heavy overnight rain the Allt Chall was in spate so followed its east bank up to 635m to find a safe crossing. Traversed east onto ridge, up to North Top and round Corrie rim to Beinn Heasgarnaich. Returned by same route. Much better than the Walkhighlands route. | TRG318 | 09/07/2023 |

Solo clockwise round of Crag Mhor and Beinn Heasgarnich from the Glen Lochay car park near Kenknock. Late start (9am) due to forgetting to set my alarm, but only two other cars at the parking area when I arrived. Blue skies when I set off, but temps just above freezing even on the valley floor. Took 1.5hrs to cover the almost 5.5 miles along the track to the start of the main ascent up Creag Mhor. Above 600m of elevation, I started to feel some of the forecast wind, and with an estimated -15c wind chill on the tops, I put a hardshell, hate and gloves on, and those stayed on for much of the next 4 hours. The summit of Creag Mhor was clear of cloud, with just a light dusting of snow, so I took some photos and started the descent down into the bealach between the two mountains. Fairly decent drop of around 400m down to the bealach, which is a bit boggy, but not too bad (compared to the descent off Heasgarnich later). The initial ascent up Sròn Tairbh felt pretty steep (a gap of seve | mproudfoot | 21/11/2021 |
From Pubil, but would have been better parking at Lubreoch Power station. Along S side of Loch Lyon to ford and derelict bridge over Allt Chall, straight up SSW to North Top then round to Beinn Heasgarnaich. Descended NNW to Stob Garbh-Leachtir then NNE to rejoin track at NN 416413. Mostly pathless over grass, but easy going and no bog or mud. Drove home (very slowly and carefully!) via the private Pubil to Kenknock road. | TRG318 | 13/09/2021 |
Cycle to Batavaime (rough track) - Sron nan Eun - Creag Mhor - Beinn Sheasgarnaich - Stob an Fhir-Bhogha - descent directly S to Batavaime. | Mark Jackson | 18/08/2021 |

Parked at Kenknock, Glen Lochay I start at 10am after the morning rain. I hiked up to the high point on the private road to Glen Lyon, then cut up through the bog, which was almost constant until the summit. 03:30hrs to the summit, where I met an old guy from Dorset, who had hiked up fro Glen Lyon Dam, this was his 241st Munro and my 155th. 
Cloudly to the west, but the summits north, east and south east were all clear under high level cloud. | chillyman8 | 16/06/2021 |
