Mountain Description
|
|
|
Lurg Mhor is an elongated mountain (E to W) with twin peaks, the summit being the W top. From the summit a ridge leads W to broad col (740m), which connects to Bidean a' Choire Sheagaich and is the normal approach route. The longest ridge, Meall Mhor, slopes down to the E reaching the shores of Loch Monar 5km from the summit. A traverse of this ridge involves scrambling. There are minor ridges on N slopes, and to the S three ridges lead to Loch Calavie and the path to Pait Lodge. The more central of the S ridges has easy slopes but the SE ridge is narrow and craggy.

Cycled in from Attadale, took 2 hrs to bothy, lot of pushing to high pass on hot day then quick descent - Track decent. Actual walk took 5 hrs from Bendronaig bothy(superb facility including airbeds and firewood), skirted Creag Dubh onto Sail Riabhach then easy grassy walk to steep pull onto B.a'C. Sheasgaich and first sign of a path. 1 hr between summits and descended SW from bealach to head of Loch Calavie and return on good track to bike. Return took 1hr 15mins on bike as easier gradient to high pass then steep descent to Attadale Walkers carpark-ensure brakes in order-Day took 9 1/4 hrs.

Cycled in from Attadale to Bendronaig Bothy, landrover track winds its way up some steep hairpin bends to begin with, very rough in places, quite an arduous track to cycle.Took us 3 hours to the bothy, great little bothy with a flushing loo. (You have to fill the cistern with a bucket of water) Left the bothy at 2.15pm, along the Pait Lodge track and then up to the col between Lurg Mhor and Cheesecake. Arrived at Lurg Mhor at 5.15pm, great view of the Cuillins on Skye, left Lurg Mhor at 5.30pm and onto Cheesecake at 6.30pm. Back to the bothy at 8.15pm. Cycled back out next day in 2 hours.

If you decide on the most direct return to the Bealach Bhearnais, descending from Lurg Mhor to the glen (mis?)named Bealach an Sgoltaidh on the OS Map, then you should tend towards the left (west). If you stick to the line of the north ridge you eventually reach tiers of cliffs not marked on the older maps and only poorly on the latest version. The lowest tier is unbroken, necessitating an irritating if short reascent which in poor visibilty could be dodgy. Once you're down, the walk up the glen of the Allt Bealach Crudhain can be tiring in hot weather, especially as the path runs out halfway.
