Beinn Talaidh, via Glen Forsa

Summary

Beinn Talaidh was once Mull's second Corbett, before being demoted as it was found to be below 2500 feet. It is a steep-sided grassy peak, isolated from its neighbours by very low bealachs, and at the heart of the peaks of Mull it gives excellent views. This ascent via Glen Forsa to the north gives a longer approach but probably more enjoyable than the direct ascent from the A849 to the south.
