Mountain Description
|
|
|
Meall nan Con is the highest top of Ben Kilbreck, a large mountain with long ridges. W of the summit is a shoulder A' Chioch (747m) with craggy NW slopes from where a ridge runs S to Carn an Fheidh (808m) then divides to produce several branches. The usual and shortest ascent route is from the A836 road to the col N of Carn an Fheidh but an ascent is also possible from the S on the path through Beallach Easach. The long NE ridge to the minor top Meall Ailein (724m) does not lead to an access route but its SE ridges are accessible from the road to Alldalaird.

Followed the Geo Ferguson suggested route starting at NC 53242712, following the 4x4 trail, and the Vince Harrison path. However, from the summit I took the SSE shoulder down to Loch a' Bhealaich to pick up the track going SW over Bealach Easach then turning W back to the Crask Inn. It makes the walk a more interesting circular route. The Crask Inn is definitely a place to stay with excellent home cooked food. The Landlord gave me a lift back to my car parked at the bridge further north.

16th June 2007. We followed Geo Ferguson’s suggestion for parking and it did not take long to cross the boggy section before climbing Cnoc Sgriodain. A path, mentioned by Vince
Harrison, begins at 570276 at 670 metres and contours round Carn an Fheidh to the 688 metre spot height.

We started a wee bit further north than the route here ending up at the north side of Loch nan Uan and returned the same way.
Easy approach and ascent but then it hadn't rained for a month.
We combined with Ben Hope no problem and were easily back to the pub in Lairg for food & beer (via the Crask Inn).
