After Creag Riabhach, round loch a'PB, great wee sandy beach, and up to the summit. Return over the bealaich between the Mealls' and a hideous trudge home to the car at the bridge. | iangalbraith | 31/08/2023 |
Parked in layby opposite new cottage at NC204596. Followed track and path to Strathan bothy. Up grassy ridge behind bothy and round broad ridge to summit, off west and down to Loch a Phuil Bhuide. Up onto Craig Riabhach, Meall na Moine and Meall Dearg. West from summit and contoured round to ridge above bothy for return. | Flatfield | 23/06/2022 |
CDMC meet Blairmore to Cape Wrath. On return jourmey to Blairmore after camping beside Loch a'Phuill Bhuide. Went over hill before visiting Strathan bothy (third bothy visit of trip), with Jojo Neff. | clashcityrocker | 07/06/2022 |
Following Creag Riabhach last of the large circuit round Cape Wrath Hills. Long exit to Gaulin House and exhilarating downhill bike ride to car at telephone box. | N.Morters | 03/06/2022 |
Round of Beinn Dearg, Creag Riabhach and An Grianan from Blairmore. | Topographer57 | 26/08/2021 |
A tiring 26k bog trot from Gualin over An Grianan, Creag Riabhach, and Beinn Dearg in very poor visibility with heavy showers . 26k in total through some of the wettest rough terrain imaginable. Found the summit cairn despite a non recommended ascent route. | NormanW | 16/05/2021 |
A fine circuit from the bridge to the NE of Gualin House. Dry bogs over the watershed to cross the Abhainn an t'Srathain and up the Alltan a'Choin Duibhe to Meall Dearg, and on to An Grianan. Too hot for the direct ascent, so I snuck round the W side. Down to Loch a'Phuill Bhuidhe and contoured round to Bealach Coire a'Chuidhe and up Beinn Dearg (knock that boulder over and make it a Hump again?). Up the W side of Creag Riabhach and a fine ridge walk to Meall na Moine. The trudge back over the pass is character forming, as it never really turns into a descent. | Gill | 22/04/2019 |

MC JC O. After ealk with others to Sandwood Bay. 8 hrs. Longest day for dog so far. Coped easily with chicken wire swing bridge. | Martin66 | 05/09/2012 |
2 gates across track leading round hillside to a junction. On a path over swamps, uphill past 2 lochans to river at Shinary. Waded across river (did not trust wonky bridge). Over bog to bothy. Uphill over wet moor into mist keeping above side stream. Used GPS to find out where I was. Clambered up very steep hillside into howling wind and to top at 12.15. No view - mist. Large moss covered cairn which I sheltered behind. Descent into gale, passing some surprised sheep, to a wide shoulder, out of mist, back over river getting feet wet this time, uphill to 2 lochans to track and car at 15.30. 6 1/4 hrs. | arranc | 28/05/2009 |
