Gill's route (Thank you!) from 523064, through gate in deer fence and round Meall Gainmheich, Stob an Lochan and Meall Reamhar. Detour to Sron Armailte on the way back was fraught with fallen trees and bottomlesss morasses, not worth the effort. | TRG318 | 13/04/2022 |
Followed Gill's route to Meall Gainmheich (excellent description Gill), taking a wee detour up Soon Armalite (following the rusting deer fence described by others). Then across the muck and heather to Stob an Lochain and Meall Reamhar. Didn't meet a soul ... until Ben A'an. OMG, the summit was silhouetted with hordes of hikers and day trippers. The path down to the car park is very good though, and also got a lift back to our car at 523064. About 3hrs for the round. | summitter | 27/09/2019 |
The first fine day of the new year. A clockwise circuit from Ben A'an CP: Ben A'an (first visited in September 2002), Meall Reamhar, Stob an Lochain, Meall Gainmheich. Lots of people walking up Ben A'an and enjoying the views to brilliantly snow-clad Arrochars and Ben Lomond. Not a soul on the rest of the walk. Deep snow in places, a climb over the new deer fence by Meall Reamhar, although I returned through the gate. On the way back, I drifted too far east, and had to flounder through a forestry quagmire to get back to the Ben A'an track. | Nick Down1 | 06/01/2018 |
Done in conjunction with the Marilyn and Ben A'an. | thenomad | 21/02/2014 |
Anti-clockwise round tops from Ben A'an. | agentmancuso | 22/07/2007 |
Sunny, mild, dry, some wind, good views. | iangalbraith | 16/12/2005 |
With: hb sb ab; Followed the standard tourist route up on to Ben A'an massing hordes on the way up. Once we had taken in the view we headed NE to Meall Gainmheich across mixed ground. We were the only ones to do so. Everyone probably thought we were mad! | Ian Baines | 27/05/2001 |
