Mountain Description
|
|
|
The Fara along with Meall Cruaidh forms a long ridge on the NW shore of Loch Ericht, that offers a 4.5 km high level walk with a lowest point of 830m. The Fara has two tops To the N lies the true summit (911m) and 2.8 km to the SSW lies the second top (910m). There is a bigger drop between the two tops of The Fara (830m col) than there is between the SW top and Meall Cruaidh (850m col). The SE slopes are generally very steep except at the Dalwhinnie end. If you decide to walk the ridge you are recommended not attempt a descent until close to Ben Alder Lodge.

The Fara

The Fara can be done as a short sharp climb, but the route here takes you for a wonderful high level walk.

12th July 2007. We left the A86 at 636 858 and followed the forest road to the point where it ends at a stream at 616 844. A break on the right leads to a gate in the fence at 613 845.
From here tussocky ground is followed by a steep heather and blaeberry slope before emerging on the grassy summit ridge.

Very easy indeed, followed the obvious treeline from behind one of the houses on Loch Erichtside. Eventually a stone dyke leads to the cairn further up the slope. A great viewpoint for very little effort.
