Clare & Skye - not the fastest - but a sunny day nevertheless. A bit of a faff getting past the farm at Achalader - good car park - rubish routing. Followed the railway tracks in - historic.Scmccabe 25/04/2021
Had a cracking day, on the hills with Nicky Creadland bagging two Munros; Beinn Achaladair (1038m) and Beinn a’ Chreachain (1081m) and the two subsidiary Munro Tops. Accessed from Achallader Farm off the A82 just north of Bridge of Orchy, it started a bit misty and the midges were out in force, but they had fled and the sun had come out by the time we reached the south Top of Beinn Achaladair. The views down to Loch Tulla and across Rannoch Moor were stunning, we had a slight confusion on the summit of Beinn Achaladair, as the summit photo was taken at the cairn at 1036m, rather than the actually summit at 1038m, but as we had walked over the summit, we still bagged the Munro. While ascending Beinn a’ Chreachain the mist came in, which denied us a view, but since we had already been spoilt with the views, I’m not complaining, 09:15 hours all in.chillyman819/08/2020

Solo, running, glorious blue sky, sunshine, firm snow. Changed socks after getting feet wet fording Allt Coralan early! Good progress then up track to col NN354416, then tiresome slog E to summit of Mhanach, but from then the day was great, with views and good going. Backtracked to that same col, then NNE to 813m col and over this on the way to Chreachain.NorfolkPT2101/04/2018
Parked at Pubil (end of public road in Glen Lyon) and cycled track along N shore of Loch Lyon to the ford in Gleann Meurain (NN394426) (easily crossed in current dry weather). Then up Beinn Mhanach and traversed across to Beinn a'Chuirn. Retraced to col between the two, and roughly followed the old fence line down to Lon na Cailliche (col to Beinn Achaladair). Then more or less straight up to Achaladair S Top and along ridge to main summit. Continued along ridge, down to col with Beinn a'Chreachain, ascended Meall Buidhe, then Beinn a'Chreachain. Retraced from there and along to the 961m top, before descending grassy slopes back to track in Gleann Cailliche, and return to Pubil.kdbennett11/05/2017
