Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn Mhanach lies at the head of Gleann Ach'-innes Chailein overlooking Loch Lyon to the E. It is an uncomplicated mountain orientated E to W with two tops, the second being Beinn a' Chuirn (923m). To the S the slopes are smooth and moderately steep, but there are rocky outcrops on the N slopes. Beinn Mhanach is normally ascended from the track in Srath Tarabhan up the S slopes to the col between Beinn Mhanach and Beinn a' Chuirn. It can also be climbed from Beinn Achaladair or Beinn an Dothaidh to the W, via the bealach at the head of Gleann Calliche again ascending to the same col.

|
Hazards you may encounter on Beinn Mhanach include

Beinn Mhanach
|
Easy climb with long walk in. Biggest problem is the risk of wet feet, although stepping stones are available if river is not in spate. Use of bicycle can be considered, but you will have to cycle through streams!

Take a bike as the ride back is awsome and prepare for wet feet!!

Walked in from Auch as per the recommended route but didn't fancy the steep-looking pull up 600m of seemingly pathless grass slopes (though there may be a path we just didn't see). Instead we headed up the farm track to the Beinn Achaladair / Beinn Mhanach col at 650m. This allowed us to include Beinn Achaladair via its 1002m top, then ascend the gentler (if somewhat boggy and tedious) WNW slopes of Beinn Mhanach. Descended steeply but with no real problems SSW back to the farm track to Auch. 27.5km and 8.5hrs in all. I'd recommend this as a good way to tackle what is a fairly ordinary hill.

Good views of the surprisingly craggy hidden side of Beinn Dorain on the walk down Glen Auch. Watch out for the mad dogs at the farm!
