5 of 5: From Strathvaich Lodge via Am Faochagach. Gales forecast but just breezy. Returned to Am F and back down to the bikes. with Sam. | ChrisR | 13/11/2022 |
Am Faochagach and tops from Strath Vaich. Followed estate road to Strathvaich Lodge and climbed W to reach ridge. Detour to climb Meall an Torcain then back and climbed Meall Coire nan Laogh, Tom Ban Mor, Sron Liath, Am Faochagach and Carn Gorm-loch. Returned, bypassing summit of Am Faochagach and descent via summit of Meall Gorm and Glas Toll Mor, contouring to reach track down to Strathvaich Lodge. Mainly good visibility, strong breeze. | RobertP | 09/06/2022 |
First day of a multi day round with the bivi bag. Biked from Black bridge leaving bike at last bridge before road high point. A steep but uncomplicated climb straight up Meall a Chaorainn, round to Meall a Chuaille, on to 
Carn Gorm-loch and down to bivi near bealach before Cnap Coire Loch Tuath. All staightforward going. | dickscroop | 20/07/2021 |
Parked at Loch Glascarnoch dam for a circuit of 4 Simms and 1 HF. 2/5. | PGCE | 11/06/2021 |
Up from cycle to weir in Gleann Beag just emerging through inversion. Back via the bothy. | Eddie | 26/05/2016 |
Sunny spells, occasional drifting cloud, mostly warm, good views. | iangalbraith | 02/06/2009 |
Second big hill on a 4 day walking tour- between Am Faochaig and Glenbeg bothy. Counter-intuitively arguably, adding this sMa gave a very good route- enjoyable, good terrain, fairly easy route finding off if the weather had been poor. We had a fine afternoon though. Just one steep section down to Glenn Beag then a lovely valley to end a good first day. With brother, Pete | pwheeler | 25/05/2004 |
