Standard route from Glen Moidart road end. Then on to Croit Bheinn. | Owen B | 20/08/2023 |
Beinn Gaire and Croit Bheinn, camped by bridge 2km up from Glen Moidart road end. Route out very straightforward and pleasant. return by dropping down into Glen Moidart was not. It looked good from the top but after first km or so was tussocks, tussocks with bog, bog, tussocks with bog and more bog. Even final path marked on map was more bog than path. | dickscroop | 31/08/2022 |
Parked Glenmoidart road end, followed track to Glen Forslan dam, then ascended slopes to 400-450m level, then on to top. Reckoned Croit Bheinn today would be too wearying so left it for another day / another route. Returned by slightly more west route to ruins of Glenforslan. | willyross | 10/08/2022 |

Anti clockwise circuit of Glen Moidart. Hills very dry. | daviemore | 14/05/2019 |
An easy walk up Glen Moidart to Croit Bheinn over bone dry bogs. Even the bogs on the way to Beinn Gaire were more or less dry. Note: the descent from Beinn Gaire needs some care with the map work, and I ended up checking with a bearing, despite perfect visibility. The plateau is quite complex. Saw a beautiful healthy dog fox coming up the hill when I was coming down. Funnily enough he was disinclined to stop for a chat. | Gill | 08/06/2018 |
Very Dry conditionsa after Croit Bheinn. 5hrs 30 for the round as pretty fit after Harris LAMM training. | dmckeith | 03/06/2018 |

From parking space at end of road up Glen Moidart. Took track on East side that leads past small hydro scheme and up to Loch Forslan. Easy up ridge to Beinn Gaire. Oneards over snowy and icy ground oving several small tops to Bealach before Croit Bheinn. Steeply down to Glen Gluitanen and the long haul out. Stay up on East side on way out, can avoid worst if the wet ground. Passing the old village of Ulgary, poignant tales of the clearance from here. | nordicstar | 05/03/2016 |
A great day out, and fine winter conditions for the higher level walking. I found my spikes useful on the icy ground between the two tops. Interesting social history on long walk back through the glens. | jenx | 05/03/2016 |

longish day with Croit Bheinn, but good views and fair underfoot. | IanHHill | 21/05/2012 |
Walk in memory of Peter Still. Parked at the end of the Moidart road in a small car park. In shirt sleeves. Good road for over a mile to a small hydro station. Crossed the stream outlet on a flimsy metal plank to open hillside. Over BWF. Ring Ouzel. Clamber to the left to a ridge up for 1,400' to visible horizon and to the top at 11.45. Neat cairn recently rebuilt like an Inuit cairn (and another on the next hill). | arranc | 02/07/2011 |
