From Coileitir, along the relkentlessly stony path by the Allt nam Meirleach and over the bealach at pt 766 before a zig-zagging, slightly scrambly ascent of Beinn nam Aighenan itself. Very fine views, not least to Lochs Etive and Tulla. | Nick Down1 | 11/07/2022 |
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 |
