Camping at the top of a munro

Camping at the top of a munro


Postby doggy » Sun Apr 20, 2014 11:10 pm

I'm wondering if any one can recommend a few munros with a bit of room at the top for camping over night. I know Ben Vorlich has good plenty of room, any else?

Thanks.

Mullach clach a bhlair is a better pitch than most campsites and has water not too far away.

Beinn Alligin has a nice wide bowl underneath the top of Tom na Gruagaich, although it might not be the most comfortable night.

Maybe not ideal but Beinn Dorains got a nice lip of grass just east 20m from the summit. Felt just a tad exposed though though certainly my most memorable summit camp.

Bynack Mor.
Downside - no water
Upside - path to the top & you can use the tors for shelter.
