Mountain Description
|
|
|
The large summit cone of Beinn Dearg is orientated NNE to SSW and is surrounded by boulder covered slopes. To the north lie two minor tops, Beinn Gharbh to the N and Elrig 'ic an Toisich to the NE, beyond which are gentle slopes to high moorland. To the W are steep sometimes craggy slopes into Glen Bruar, and to the SE similar slopes into Gleann Diridh. Access is normally from Glen Bruar, either on the S face of Beinn Losgarnaich, to the W, or on the gentle slopes of Meall Dubh nan Dearcag, to the S.

Beinn Dearg [Blair Atholl]
|
An easy ascent, but the long approach makes this a strenuous route. You can cycle to the base of the hill to reduce route time, but about 40% of the road was resurfaced (1999/2000) with crushed rock which makes inclines difficult.

Did this using the Bothy at Allt Sheicheachan. I like a comfortable life, so I biked towing a BOB bike trailer. This meant I could bring logs (though some lads from Friarton had already brought loads of kindling), a small bottle of wine, and a Thermarest described by Trail magazine as the one to use if taking your granny camping. The deer gate meant a bit of stevedore work, but not much. Throw in the romp up Beinn Dearg accompanied by the sound of stags hooting at each other across the glen, and a still quiet rainfree evening with enough light to come down by - and it was a great trip.

Also pleasant from Gleann Mhairc over Elrig'ic an Toisich. (Did this after climbing Carn a'Chlamain from Glen Tilt and camping in Gleann Mhairc.) Lots of mountain hares, no people.

During stalking season route from Old Bridge of Tilt car park via Minigaig drovers road to Sheicheachan Bothy and onwards to summit is always open to walkers - checked with Hillphones - estate message.
Excellent route less than 6hrs including 1 hr stops when using bike to Bothy - steeper than appears as wear out brakes on fast descent
