The car park isn't huge. It maybe holds about 15 cars. On the way up Beinn Tulaichean, there were quite a few highland cows roaming about the hillside.

The forecast was for unbroken sunshine but the tops of the hills were in the clouds. We entered the cloud shortly after passing the gate mentioned in the guide at 500m. At the top of Beinn Tulaichean, we were still in the cloud but we climbing out of it on the way up to the summit of Cruach Àrdrain.

Hung about at the top of Cruach Àrdrain for a fair bit of time taking pictures and having a snack. The descent from the bealach is clearly marked
