Bagging the trig. With Nozzer.BigJ02/06/2022
Parked NH 762340 (more parking NH 7606 3380 - grassy pull-off) - no parking signs now by houses at Lynebeg. Tracks to Carn na h-easgainn and on to Beinn Dubh via Beinn nan Cailleach. NE to forest and gate at NH 7147 3388 - good track thereafter. No Fb at NH 748344. Path feint off track here but soon becomes grassy path leading to very obvious ATV/track back to carcarole engel09/05/2022
Here for the trig point. TP:UK log: Decided to go for this one on it's own rather than combining it with Carn Na H-Easgainn. Starting from the road end at Wester Lairgs N57° 23.349' W4° 10.518' (you could have driven up the road and easily parked just before the quarry entrance but it only saves you 500m N57° 23.286' W4° 09.929'). Decided to get as high as I could on tracks, so walked as far as the deer fence which has a gate N57° 22.481' W4° 09.761'. Climbed the gate and then the fun begins. I knew I had to cross the burn so went further north than I needed to to try and (a) avoid the bog (b) cross it high up. Burn was no problem but impossible to miss the bog. You then had the longest kilometre of holey heather and bog to climb up which seemed to take an age. Eventually we reached the trigpoint and sheltered behind the big rock with the hole in the middle. I don't think it's a cairn but no idea how the hole appeared? Not sure of the best way down we headed in the general directiothejackrustles27/12/2019

Unusual summit cairn near trig; Two striking upright boulders together at summit with cairn on top + stonework forming a tiny shelter. 5 mins at summit. Heather hill, nice view. Trig name is Meall Na Fuar Ghlaic. Via h-Easgainn, descending NE to join forest road at 731346. RHW15/02/2010
From Beinn Bhreac. This involved crossing the River Uisge Dubh (NH 72092 31566). This was the most scary river crossing I've ever had; water up to my waist and nearly too scared to move in case I was swept away. Then to Wester Lairgs and B851.Alan Moore17/02/2009
