Parked at Achnasaul, backing into the track down to the old derilict bridge. Straight to the 681m point and onto summit.iangalbraith13/09/2023
With Rhona & Struie. Walking WH route (including Meall Coire nan Saobhaidh & Meall na h-Eilde) BUT a clockwise round and the walk begins from the bridge over the Allt Dubh near Achnasual on the Loch Arkaig road; there is plenty of space to park in the plantation around 500m (?) along the road to the east. No difficulties in going clockwise. There is an ATV track that goes almost to the top of Geal Charn – you can pick it up on the right bank of an unnamed burn at 165930, which comes down the SE shoulder of Geal Charn.DampandDusty02/09/2023

From Achnasaul- parked on the grass near the entrance to the fishery building. Up the hydro track alongside the Allt Dubh, before crossing the bealach and climbing steeply up to pt 681, then on to Meall na h-Eilde. Followed the fence posts over Meall Coire Nan Saobhaidh, and then Geal Charn. All pretty good going underfoot, wonderful views. Down the SE ridge, then followed the burn below the ATV track for a while, as it was rather churned up and boggy. 17km, 4h 50Rockdoctor08/04/2023
Meall na h-Eilde and Geal Charn from the plantation parking area on the Arkaig road. Decent track up to the hydro scheme, then a very wet track up to the top of the glen. Did anti-clockwise circuit taking in Meall na h-Eilde, Meall Coire nan Soabhaidh and then Geal Charn before returning down the track out. Conditions - no precip, but clag above 600m so no views to be had. Cold wind though, so needed a windshell on over my midlayer. Total time: 4h 57min.mproudfoot25/03/2023

With Sue from Achnesaul cycle 3km up the track along the Allt Dubh to a steepening part and walked into Gleann Tarsuinn and up SW shoulder of Meall na h-Eilde to summit and on to Meall Coire nan Saobhaidh, before heading down to the Bealach before climbing Geal Charn and Beinn Mheadoin returning down to the head of the burn to pick up the stalkers path down to bikes. Wet and windy given the heatwaave in England.Frank08/08/2022

Third visit; TGOC 19Colin Crawford14/05/2019
From the Witches Pool, up the forestry track along the Gleann Cia-aig to Meall an t-Sagairt, across to Meall na h-Eilde and on to Meall Coire nan Saobhaidh, before doubling back to h-Eilde's west top and the big down and up to the fine ridge of Glas Bheinn. Got back on the forestry track by returning northwards to Coire na Cosaig, then eastwards to a dam over which it is possible to cross the Abhainn Chia-aig.summitter13/04/2019
Meall na h-Eilde and Meall an Tagraidh. Up track from W end of Mile Dorcha and then straight up top main summit through knee deep very soft snow. stable enough so no problems though hard work. Easy cross over to second summit with a fence to follow and then straight back down. A much finer day than the forecast, pleasant weak sun most of time.dickscroop27/01/2019
