Route: Beinn Dearg from near Blair Atholl
Munros: Beinn Dearg (Blair Atholl)
Date walked: 16/10/2023
Time taken: 7.3 hours
Distance: 30km
Ascent: 1052m
Back from an overnighter with the eldest lad.
Sunday night, leaving from Glen Tilt car park, we did the 2 hours walk to Allt Scheicheachan Bothy, catching in the views as the sky slowly darkens. Met two lovely gentlemen already at the Bothy and spent the night watching the fire while sharing stories.
Monday morning my son and I set for for Beinn Dearg. This has been on my list to do as it remained the only outstanding munro around the Blair Atholl and A9 area. It was an really pleasant start to the walk, with some lovely views and seeing the herd of deer on the hills. The summit itself was hidden in the cloud, and a bit of a sharp cold wind, we didn't hang about!
The descent was back to Glen Tilt was via the bothy again as we had to pick up the overnight rucksak which we left behind earlier on . This also gave my son a bit of a break while I cleaned out the fireplace, all ready for the next occupant of the bothy. The walk back to the car from the bothy was a bit of a slog...I can see how this is popular with cyclists!
