Hi!
I'm planning a mini autumn adventure to spend 3 days ticking off a few munros in a loop from Blair Athol.
I've worked out a route on OS maps which looks feasible, but as I don't know the area at all, I was wondering if some of you more experienced folk would mind casting an eye over it and pointing out any obvious flaws - just so I don't get too wet or die, really?
The basic plan is to head up to Beinn a' Ghlo via Cran Liath then head north and camp 1st night somewhere suitable between Meall Gharran and the old shielings marked at the confluence of An Lochain and the Tilt. 2nd day would take me along the banks of the Tilt and then take the track up to Carn a' Chlamain before heading to Loch Mhairc via Aonach na Cloiche Moire and Braighe Sron Ghorm, camping on the northern side of Loch Mhairc. 3rd day would be Beinn Dearg via Elrig 'ic an Toisich then back to Blair Athol on a roughly SSE heading, following the path & tracks.
As a newbie, it appears that I'm not allowed to post a link, so hopefully this image will serve as a rough idea:
I'm a fellrunner, so reasonably fit and spent 3 days hiking around Cairngorm and Lairig Ghru skyline last summer, so I have a notion of roughly what to expect to experience in terms of terrain and all-the-weather-in-one-day.
Any advice on the route and potential camping spots, including "don't do it" would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Trevor
