Hill: Beinn Maol Chaluim
Date: Saturday 12th December 2009
Company: Foggieclimber, Ian and Judy
Time: 5 HrsQuite a late start for me this morning

. We parked at 149496, next to Lochan Urr, where there is room for 3 or 4 cars and started walking at 09:30.
The ascent from the road starts steeply alongside a fence and forest.
Then simply a case of heading up, following the broad ridge, until reaching the 848m top.

A nice straight-forward grassy hill but with lots of lumps and bumps. We returned to the car via the same route.
