New campervan trip 25 5th 2019 and Kylesku Hotel 10 - 14 November.
Cold 1°C but very clear day with no wind. Terrain largely frozen.
Biked from Kylesku hotel to the Maldie burn. Left bike by the power station NC251341.
Took a direct line E up very rough terrain to pt. 197. Continued through boggy ground with extensive peat channels. Ascent to Beinn a Ghrianain and onto pt 485. I didn't have enough time to continue to Beinn a Bhutha so I turned at this location. For the return I chose to head for the bridge and dam NC262352 at the head of the Maldie burn.
A good hill day but quite difficult to make decent progress due to the rough ground.
First ascent of Beinn a Bhutha on 10/03/2015. Separate entry for this day.
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.
