Mountain Description
|
|
|
Carn a' Chlamain is the highest of a cluster of peaks on the northside of Glen Tilt. Its N and E slopes are gentle leading down to Meall Tionail and Conlach Mhor. Equally gentle slopes lead W to Braigh nan Creagan Bhreac then S to Braigh Clais Daimh to the W of which are steep slopes into Gleann Mhairc. SW of the summit a deep elongated corrie is enclosed by a long ridge, SW down to Clachghlas in Glen Tilt. This ridge gives an easy ascent of Carn a' Chlamain, or if you prefer a path from Forest Lodge in Glen Tilt runs almost to the summit

You can get a bike nearly to the top if using the land rover track (and are fit!) which offers a rather thrilling descent!

Friday 26.1.07. With a stiffish wind, windchill of -17C, plenty of soft snow further up, and no gritters on the track up the glen, this was a stern test of character. Worse, there were lots of sinister animal tracks going up the hill. Could they have released wolves here without even informing walkers? Had the Beast of Bodmin Moor opted for a change of scene? How effective would walking poles be in seeing off a predator? Or, could mountain hares REALLY have such large feet? Presumably the latter, since I survived, and there were a lot of them about. A very pretty summit - be brave and try it!

Started from Old Bridge of Tilt car park at 9.30am and walked up to Forest Lodge and then up a good stalkers path right to the summit. Still quite a bit of snow on the hills around. Warm and sunny with superb views. Came back down the landrover track and then the long walk out arriving back at the car park at 6pm. Lots of people cycling this route and it does help especially at the end of a long day.
