Mountain Description
|
|
|
Meall na Fearna lies E of Ben Vorlich (Munro), separated from it by a high bealach (580m). It is part of a complex H shaped mountain with two parallel N-S ridges each with its own summit and connected by a high col (687m). The more easterly ridge has craggy E slopes, but Meall na Fearna is the highest point on the more westerly ridge which is relatively crag free. There are steeper rocky slopes SE of the summit. The most straight forward ascent is via the path from Glen Vorlich to Gleann an Dubh Choirein that passes about 1km from the summit. An ascent is also possible from the E, via the road in Glen Artney and the track through Srath a' Ghlinne

When going up this route, the track splits at NN 6359 2028. The straight on bit then veers around to the left in the general direction of Beinn Domhnuill, but you need to turn right here (going past a wooden pole) to go to the bealach. Soon afterwards the track turns into a typical muddy path, so actually going directly up the hill from here might not be such a bad idea.

31st March 2007. We started from the car park in Glen Artney at 711161 (no parking allowed beyond this). A good stony track leads towards Gleann an Dubh Choirein and a grassy track, intermittent in places, continues up the glen. There is a bridge a short distance upstream at 658162. The south ridge of Meall na Fearna is grassy with some peat bog at the 670 m ring contour. We returned by the grassy ridge running SSE from the 742
m hill. A useful path (shown on the Harvey map) contours round the east side of the hill at 668174. We descended eastwards from the col at 673164. This is longer than the northern approach but totally secluded, apart from close on two hundred deer spread around the glen between the ridges of our ascent and descent.
