Overview

Two mainly grassy hills between Glen Lochay and Loch Lyon. Creah Mhor lies about 8km west of the end of the public road. The first 5 km is on a track. Thereafter we ascend north west to Creah Mhor, descent to a bealach, re ascend over a lesser top and reach Beinn Heasgarnich. From there we descent via a corrie to Lochain Achlarich, skirt the shoulder of Creag nam Bodach and return to the cars. Walk time 7.5 to 8.5 hrs
