Beinn Mheadhoin horseshoe from Kingairloch as described in SMC Grahams guidebook.davidpettit8431/12/2023

Parked at the B8043 CP marked with a Blue Footprint above a Hydro Power Station. A couple of hundred metres NW is a muddy path from the road to the Power Station below and the bridge over the river. A road leads all the way to a smaller hydro-turbine building at the bottom of Allt na Carriage, from where a track leads up the glen alongside the burn. Once at the end of the track it is a straightforward ascent onto the NE flank of Sgurr a' Bhuic, where it and its NE Top give fab views over Loch Linnhe. We also visited all the likely high pints of its W Top, but it seems that the top of the hill has been hacked off by the quarry workers. A wander along the highest quarry road aids access if not aesthetics to Beul Choire nan Each. Beinn Mheadhoin was next, followed by Meall na Greine. Bit of a detour to Meall a' Chaorainn Loch Uisge, and then a contouring exercise to finish with Sgurr Shalachain. Its ENE flank provides a relatively easy descent route, eventually onto a track back down to tsummitter26/02/2023

Easy stroll over from Meall a' Chaorainn. Someone had recently been driving around here. (The estate changed hands in March). Very fine views over Kingairloch with farmland and the sea loch. A CalMac ferry was lurking out in Loch Linnhe, a bit off the usual routes. On to Shalachainfasgadh14/07/2022

Fromm Loch Uisge dam car park initially along track and then, on generally easy going over Meall na Greine, Beinn Mheadoin and on to Beul Choire nan Each. Doubled back a short way from top then down, initially steeply, north to the old mill and good track/road and path back to the B8043 and back to car/tent.dickscroop31/03/2022

Parked in new car park on B8043. On access road to dam over stream to the end of the path. Then a one mile trudge uphill over tussock, heather and sludge and then more slog finding heather ridges easier going than the tussock alternative and to edge of Coire Ban at 11.05. Faint path on grass to top. To Mheadhoin.arranc22/05/2010
