Mountain Description
|
|
|
Meall a' Bhuachaille is the most E of four peaks on the ridge to the N of Glenmore Forest Park, the other peaks being Creagan Gorm (732m), un-named top (711m) and then Craiggowrie (687m) to the NW. It is recommended that you walk the whole ridge, but as paths approach the summit of Meall a' Bhuachaille from Ryvoan Bothy to the E and to the col between Meall a' Bhuachaille and Creagan Gorm from the S, there is a pleasant circuit of Meall a' Bhuachaille alone.

This hill is worth the climb just for the views of the Cairngorms. Furthermore the ascent from Ryvoan Bothy is extremely easy with a newly repaired track that assists the walker. Also its a short circular route, I took 4 hours without going onto Craiggowrie, and descended via the Glenmore Forest Park arriving back at the Reindeer centre.

Climbed as part of a training course at Glenmore Lodge. Walked from the Lodge to Ryvoan bothy, then up the path to the large sheltered cairn. Descended down the south ridge and navigated back to the Lodge through Queen's Forest using tracks and fire breaks.
Great view of the Cairngorms at the summit.
