From Glengalmadale, steep ascent via south fank en route to Fuar Bheinn. with Geordie, Dave Brace and Phil Smith. | John Lee | 15/02/2024 |
Ascent between plantation and burn (as described in older Corbett book and mentioned in SMC Grahams book),is very steep, slippy, rough and at this time of year has thick vegetation. Better to start at end of ridge opposite mast. | sarahk | 16/09/2023 |
Superb sunshiny anti-clockwise circuit of the Glen Galmadale horseshoe from the CP. Up past Curlew Cottage and The Steadings onto the East Ridge. Minor path most of the way to Airigh Mhic Bheathain and Meall nan Each. Nice arête over to Maol Odhar East Top then back up to Maol Odhar proper. Some unusual walls just before Creach Bheinn before huge fall and rise up to Fuar Bheinn. Similar prominence change to Beinn na Cille. Down the SE flank to west of a wee forest then over the road to grab Ceanna Mor. Had a stand-off with a stag at Camasnacroise before a well earned beer back at the camper. 6hrs. | summitter | 25/02/2023 |
Before the two Corbetts | jef | 13/02/2023 |
Clockwise round of Beinn na Cille, Fuar Bhienn & Creag Bheinn from Glengalmadale farm. Tough (tick infested) fern jungle from the road but otherwise decent terrain, and magnificent views (despite clag on the corbett summits). Total time 6h 47min. | mproudfoot | 09/07/2022 |
2/8 A traverse of the impressive Glen Galmadale Horseshoe, taking in the two Corbetts of Fuar Bheinn (Cold Hill) and Creach Bheinn (Hill of Spoil) as well as 6 other peaks, along the way: Ceanna Mor, Beinn na Cille, Maol Odhar, Maol Odah East Top, Mealham Each, and Arigh Mhic Bheathain. I did it clockwise, so I finished the hard up and down work by the time I reached the main summit of Chreach Bheinn. The descent along the eastern ridge being very easy on the legs, and the detour to bag Maol Odhar East Top costs very little in extra effort. Splendid views out to the west to Jura, Mull, Rhum and even the Western Isles. Also back east across Loch Linnhe to all the Lochaber hills from a perfect angle. So keep it for a fine day. 20km with 1630m ascent, taking 8h 30m. | silveracorn_alan | 01/06/2022 |
From Glengalmadale car park, a short way west along road and then up very steeply between eastern forest edge and stream, then up to ridge , along to cairn on easier going and the outcrop just beyond which looks a bit lower but is supposed to be higher! Straight down the ridge to the transmitter mast keeping west of the gorse at the bottom, a much more straightforward route than the ascent.` | dickscroop | 03/04/2022 |
With: hb; Parked at Glengalmadale House. Followed the road 1km to start S ridge of Beinn na Cille where gorse ends. Descended N to bealach then an easy grass ascent of Fuar Bheinn. Took the ridge NW then N to complex bealach then another good easy ridge up Creach Bheinn. Stunning views from summit shelter. Trig destroyed by lightning. Descended into upper Glen Galmadale for wildcamp at 450m. | Ian Baines | 28/05/2021 |
Solo trip in half a gale of wind. | Invicta14 | 21/05/2021 |
Tough late summer slog in sultry weather and initially shoulder deep ferns. Parked by Glengalmadale, walked along the road to the mast, bashed my way up from there. Felt close to spent at the top with most of the round still to go. It got a bit better. Lovely views though. | Owen B | 17/08/2020 |
Parked at the end of the forestry track, then straight up between the blocks of forestry. Nasty terrain, tussocks, holes, bracken, hidden rocks and steep, up to a decrepit, low fence. Beinn na Killer. Slightly better above, with the angle easing close to the summit. Nice views from the top. Descended west, much better going, not as steep, no bracken, and picked up an ATV track when the gradient eases, leading neatly to the track leading down through the forestry. This is probably a much better way up the hill too. | Gill | 21/10/2019 |
On first day of solo week in Ardgour/Sunart. The Glen Galmadale horseshoe. Parked just E of bridge & then climbed steeply between forestry & river on other side of it to summit of Beinn na Cille. Definitely easier to use E bank of river. A bit of a slog. Stags roaring everywhere. Dropped N to low col & then an easier wander up to Fuar Bheinn & then round to Creach Bheinn. Continued to Maol Odhar & then completed the round before dropping back gently to starting point. Noisy stags all day but only actually saw 2 lone hinds. | NotReallyABagger | 29/09/2019 |

Round of Glen Galmadale with Richard, Luigi & Mia (dog). From car (10:30) at foot of glen, up steeply by wood and above to SE ridge and B na Cille (12:25). Rain started, cloud down. Northward down to col and up ridge to Fuar Bheinn (13:50). Rain stopped, still in cloud. Down to broad col then up long stony slope to Creach Bheinn (15:15). Cloud lifted, views appeared. Walked down past Napoleonic lookout then followed long grassy ridge round top and E of glen back to start (18:35). Good day in the end. | dbb | 13/06/2015 |

Glen Galmadale horseshoe, clockwise | davidpettit84 | 02/04/2015 |
RBS Ariundle weekend. I walked this clockwise round of 1 Graham and 2 Corbetts with Gary B and Mark P. The weather was fair, some wind and light rain, maily clear. We had good views down Loch Linhe to Lismore and mainland. We saw two dead goats one on top of other relatively fresh in wood at start, and black feral goats in the distance at end of the walk. No stops till we reached the summit of Beinn na Cille. I was going steady and ok until halfway up the second Corbett, Creag Bheinn. The ridge back down was not as smooth as looks from distance, lots of ups and downs. 8 hours. | langskill | 26/04/2014 |
