Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn Bhuidhe is an isolated Munro at the head of loch Fyne, separating Glen Fyne from Glen Shira. There are roads in both glens but Beinn Bhuidhe is mostly accessed from Glen Fyne. It is large mountain with three ridges like the prongs of a trident nnn SW. The longest ridge is the more southern of the three to Clachan Hill, the shortest the more northern to Beinn an t-Sidhein. Between them lies the main ridge on which the summit is located, which runs from Tom a' Phiobaire in the SW to Ceann Gardh in the NE with the summit in a central location. There are good tracks giving access to the long and short SW ridges but the short and steep route WNW from Inverchorachan House is the most popular.

A superb mountain, climbed in winter conditions with the real feeling of an expedition about it. Ascended via the path from Inverchoracan, steep and scrambly at places but a clear route, following the left-hand bank of the stream the whole way. Descended via the more direct route back to Clachan along the track from the quarry on the west side of the glen. A boggier descent but straight-forward once the track was joined. Following the ridge just to the east of this track might give finer views - unobscured by trees - of Loch Fyne and the glen.

Left the car at the car park at the head of Loch Fyne and walked up the road on the left hand side of Glen Fyne. Bad move...the pooch and I came across a herd of Highland cows! Not long after negotiating this obstacle the two roads met up and we came across yet more cows (not of the Highland variety however). The climb it's self was pleasant, up past the waterfall and followed the reasonably well trodden path up to the ridge and then to the summit. Didn't hang around for long though, no wind and midges everywhere!!

4th June 2007. We walked from the Loch Fyne car park and through the forest at Mark Park. We crossed streams at 217 169 and 216 172, then moved to the right to avoid rocks,
crossed a fence and made for 214 173, near a col. From here we were in thick cloud. We aimed for the right hand shoulder of Meall an Daimh and, turning to the left, found a stream at 204 185 which we followed up steep grass to a point on the ridge 100 m east of the summit. Having plotted GPS positions of key points on the way up, we navigated easily to these on the way down. Six hours round trip. A good day for those who do not like
having a path to follow and who do not like seeing where they are going.
