With a friend. From road end in Glen Glass. The road end is by a gate before a bridge. On the other side of the bridge stands Eileanach Lodge. We walked through the forest roughly westwards. These tracks are not shown on my 1988 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map but are shown on the Anquet maps print out of 1:50,000 map Somewhat below Meall a' Chrimig we went up a break and climbed over a high deer fence on to the open hillside. The weather so far had been nice, but it started to cloud over. We walked up to the summit of Meall na Drochaide. A cold wind was blowing from the west so we dropped down little way to the north for a hurried lunch. Continued NW to Meal nan Bradan Leathan and Glas Leathad Beag. | pwbellarby | 21/12/2006 |
