Ben Starav, Stob Coire Dheirg, Beinn Nan Aighenan, Meall Nan Tri Tighearnan, Glas Bheinn Mor. Lovely day very warm and sunny. Still a tiny patch of snow at the head of the Corrie wall just to SE of summit. But if scrambling to Stob Coire Dheirg. Slog out and back to Beinn Nan Aighenan where I decided to do just the 3. Also had to drink from streams due to heat and sweating. Rest of walk was enjoyable. Time taken including stops 8 hours 50 minutes for 14 miles. | isabelle | 06/06/2022 |

Good hill day while staying at the Ochils Mountaineering Club cottage in Crianlarich over the weekend, bagging Ben Starav (1078m) and Glas Bheinn Mhor (997m), at the bottom of Glen Etive. As part of the circuit you also go over the Munro Top of Stob Coire Dheirg (1027m), I had planned on including the adjacent Munro of Beinn nan Aighenan, but in the end I didn’t fancy the +300m extra ascent for this outlier. 
 
It was a beautifully sunny day with a moderate SW breeze, 9hrs all in (incl. a nap on the 2nd Munro). 
 
The A82 trunk road was closed due to an accident just south of the Glencoe Ski Centre, so I turned around to go along the coastal route, only to develop a flat rear passanger tyre. Pulling into the Three Sisters viewpoint car park and after much faffing I got all the nuts off, but the wheel wouldn’t shift. When the AA man arrived, he whacked it with a mallet a few times and the flat tyre just fell off (I’ll need to pack a large hammer next time), I only got back to the cottag | chillyman8 | 19/09/2020 |
tough day out and not very clear weather with Brian Smith. | Kevthecat | 16/09/2020 |
Climbed at the back of doing Ben Starav rocky boulder climb in the mist so could see nothing followed by a descent into the valley with a 2 mile bog fest to get back to start with Kev Smith. | supermario | 16/09/2020 |
