This was the second day of a two day trip to Scotland. I'd done Ben Chonzie the day before.
NB approximate route.
From the Ben Lawers car park there's a good tourist path up to the top of Beinn Ghlas.
There's only a short descent from Beinn Ghlas before you start climbing Ben Lawers.
I came back down Ben Lawers and then followed a path to the right which goes around the side of Beinn Ghlas. From the bealach between Beinn Ghlas and Meall Corranich, there's a path which leads off to the right.This path is a bit steep and narrow, with some easy scrambling, but it leads quickly up to the third Munro summit of the day.
A long grassy ridge leads north from Meall Corranich, but you have to go down off it to join a ridge further east which leads up to the next Munro, Meall a Choire Leith. Once you find the right path, it's an easy walk up to the flat summit.
From here I got the compass out and headed off to the south-west.There was no path visible at first, but soon after leaving the summit area I found a fairly clear path which led down the hill, over a small stream and on to a small dam on the Allt Gleann Da Eig.
After the dam the path became less clear and the ground was quite rough and boggy as I headed up towards a ridge. Once over the top of the ridge, the Lochan na Lairige and the road that goes past it became visible. I then had a couple of miles along the road to get back to the car, and the long drive home.
Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.
