- Sunrise over Tarmachan
- Looking up Glen Lochay towards Ben Challum
- Sron nan Eun
- Ridge to summit
Once on the ridge it is a short ascent to the summit of Creag Mhor, unfortunately my arrival at the cairn coincided with a mini blizzard , prompting a slow and careful descent first NW then N in very poor visibility to eventually contour around below the summit crags to reach the boggy bealach leading to Sron Tairbh .

- Heading down to bealach
- Route ahead up Sron Tairbh
Thankfully the clouds cleared and I had a good view of the route up onto the high plateau which leads on to Beinn Heasgarnich . The climb up is steep but short and before long the slope eases and the route to the summit becomes obvious , a pleasant wander over the south top of Stob an Fhir Bhogha and a gentle ascent to the summit cairn , great views here of the Lawers and Auch Gleann hills .
- Onwards to Beinn Heasgarnich
- Auch hills
- South to Ben Challum
- East to Lawers
For the descent I headed south to pt1041 ,NN 414 377, before leaving the ridge and bearing away SE. The going here is not too bad , a few crags to avoid and some steep and wet grass but pretty easy . Eventually I reached the upper track at a small dam above Badour , NN 429 358 . From here 6km of good track leads back to Kenknock
- Heading south to pt1041
- Down towards Badour
I was a bit apprehensive about this walk , a lot of reports mention its boggy nastiness , maybe this route avoids the worst of it , thankfully all I had to endure were a couple of comedy slips on wet grass (it’s OK nobody was looking ) and being attacked by’ Britain’s Angriest Dog ‘ back at the farm .
-not nice .
