Saturday 14th August 2010 and I'm out on my own to bag 2 munros. I park in the farmers field as the "car park" left me with 1 wheel off the ground. I walked along the hydro path all the way to the High Bealach between Stob Diamh (which I did when I climbed Cruachan) and Beinn a'Chochuill. Reasonably steep climb with no path got me to the summit of Beinn a'Chochuill. Then its a ridge walk and a decent to the bealach with Beinn Eunaich. Climbed that and then an easy stroll for a bit until *that* descent! Very steep down the side, and back to the path. Glad to see the farmer and his Highland cows left my car alone!
Photostop at Kilchurn Castle on Loch Awe. Behind and left is Chochuill, behind and right is Eunaich
A wee look over left to Stob Diamh and Ben Cruachan
A look back down the valley I'd just traversed. path on left.
Now high enough up to see the Connell Bridge at the head of the River Etive
On the descent from Chochuill along the broad ridge
And now on the way up Eunaich
Summit of Beinn Eunaich
Looking back at Chochuill from Eunaich
I walked right up to that Beallach and then right turned and up the steep slope of Chochuill
Looking ahead at the gentle descent down to Loch Awe
Another look back to that high Beallach - Chochuill to the right and the sea in the horizon
This shot clearly showns that well defined path that I walked up the beallach on
And back down at the farmers field we see the Dalmally horseshoe left and Chochuill right
Finally, a view of the rover track that takes you to the Beallach and up right for Beinn a'Chochuill
A wee video:
