Took the Corran Ferry then turned North up to Stronchreggan. There is a lay-by ( not a passing
place) about 50 mtrs North of the start with space for about 5 cars so parking was not the problem I
expected. Took the track but left it at 058 728 and cut straight up the hill by what looks like the
most obvious route on the ground. Once the ridge is gained this is a superb high level ridge walk
over Braigh Bhlaich with stunning views all round. The air clarity was brilliant specially towards
Ben Nevis. The positioning of this Corbett is excellent to give a great perspective of the Mamores
and Glencoe plus all local hills. The summit itself was also a bit of a surprise as the headwall of
the corrie is near vertical with some fantastic gullies just dropping right off the summit into
nothing. Beware of this edge if up here in the snow ! To add interest to the day and not just
retrace the outward route we descended first South, then South East to follow the ridge on the
southern side of the Glen to form a delightful horseshoe round Gleann Sron a' Chreagarn.
Yet again another Ardgour Corbett provided a superb short days walking
