Drove car up through Glen Coe then headed onto the A828 and headed past the Ballachulish Hotel. A bit further up the road, we turned left, signposted for Glenachulish which took us up to a small car park in the forestry. From the car, headed South up a track, passed a small hydro building where the path then split. Pick which Munro you wish to bag. We opted for Sgorr Dhearg first so turned left and headed over a bridge.

Beinn a'Bheithir by b_bez, on FlickrWe kept on heading up the path where we crossed over a fire break. there is a sign to follow another path up through the forest. Eventually (felt like forever) we came out of the forest and started the, not too bad going, ascent for the bealach, again, a well trodden path was easy enough for us to follow.
Beinn a'Bheithir by b_bez, on FlickrWe picked up an old rusy fence. Follow this all the way up. Easy navigation even if the mist came down.
