Mountain Description
|
|
|
Sgiath Chuil has a craggy summit ridge running N-S with three tops, Sgiath Chrom (853m) to the S, Meall a' Churain (917m) to the N and the summit midway between them. The Ridge continues N to Creag an t-Searraich overlooking Glen Lochay. Also from Meall a' Churain a long twisting ridge runs E over several minor tops. Meall a' Churain can be ascended from the bealach to the W where it connects to Beinn Cheataich and therefore to Meall Glas. An ascent to this bealach is also possible via the track fromLubchurran in Glen Lochay. The usual ascent route is from Auchessan in Glen Dochart on the SW slopes of Sgiath Chrom.

2nd July 2006 - Hot and sultry day. The upper walk-in from Auchessan to Meall Glas is pathless and quite boggy and tussocky - it's interminable.
But the continuation up the western side of Sgiath Chuil (from Meall Glas) is a very steep, grassy, strenuous flog! Descent back to Auchessan is quick and easy though.
For an 'easy day' it this was a hard circuit. It would all be very boggy after rain.

Walked this hill on Feb 8th. 2004 in brilliant sunshine and a gale force wind. Thick snow, whipped up by the wind, made it difficult to see at times. Came up from Auchessan in the south to the end of the Landrover track that runs east / west to the small dam, then took a line north east over Sgiath Chrom and round to the west of the crag just below the summit. Freezing cold at the top so only stayed there about 10 seconds! Had already done Meall Glas some months ago so went staright back down to Auchessan. A hill that looks and walks much better in the snow than the usual mud.

"An ascent to this bealach is also possible via the track by the Lubchurran Burn from Glen Lochay". Note that the bridge shown on the map at Lubchurran is no longer there and that the Lochay is a big river especially after rain. The bridge at Badour further up the valley is still there
