Parked by Achnasheen station. Good path up the munro. Dropped a nav pin at the dam where the path leaves the burn for the return. Circuit of Fionn Bheinn and Meall a Chaorainn across the watershed/peat bog. Glad to see some evidence of peat bog restoration with wood and earth dams to reduce drainage. Hot morning but great views over towards the Fannichs. Solo | richard69 | 05/06/2023 |

A week of new experiences with Jon Glew. 
Earlier in the week on Maol Chean-dearg we learned what could be achieved in what was described as full on winter conditions. 
Today we learned what we could not achieve and more importantly recognising our limits 1.4km from summit of Fionn Bheinn. Visibilty down to 2m for lead person (5m behind) 30 - 40 mph wind, snow and spindrift straight in our faces and unable to determine what was up or down. Unable to navigate safely or reliably we jointly more or less at the same time decided to turn round and head back. 
Another great day on the hill but mixed feelings about ending a day without any ticks. | mntainman | 15/02/2018 |

Fionn Bheinn on holiday. Parking in Achnasheen. Clockwise route heading up a path next to Allt Achadh na Sine before breaking off north to climb fairly easily to the summit. Headed eastwards along the ridge, to catch a path heading towards the Achnasheen plantation, where a track is gained that heads straight through the middle. Then a short walk westwards along the road. | DampandDusty | 07/07/2017 |
