Glas Bheinn & Beinn na Cloiche from Kinlochleven

[Johnny Corbett]

Started from the car park in Kinlochleven and turned right at start of path, should have turned left as i was soon to realize i was going the wrong way. Rather than turn back i headed up the side of Meall an Doire Dharaich to get access to the path from there but could not get over the gorge so ended up going over MaDD and picking the path up just before the bridge over the river. Here i turned left and followed the path till i got to a split, here i forked left and made my way up to Glas Bheinn. It was fairly easy going up the ridge and from the summit i continued down the ridge past the crags before making my way over to Beinn na Cloiche, again with an easy climb to the summit with most of the hard work for these two being in the approach at the start. I returned down the ridge of Beinn na Cloiche to pick the path back to Kinlochleven, taking me past Loch Eilde Mor. Another return route could have been to head to Blackwater Reservoir and follow the river Leven back. This option i think would be an easier walk due to it being more level alongside the river and definately the way i would go if i return to these two. All in it was an enjoyable long day in more great weather with some fine views. 7 hrs 30 mins.

Lovely day out. I like looking at the Glen Coe hills from this side

Great walk Johnny, I love how all these classic walk starts for munros offer so much more as well too for accessing the wilds

Interesting early diversionary leg warmer going over the top of Meall an Doire Dharaich, JC, but on a day like this I'd guess you probably weren't bothered - looks like you managed it before the weather starts to turn a bit - cheers
