Mountain Description
|
|
|
Auchnafree Hill is a complex combination of corries and ridges, bounded by Glen Almond to the N, Glen turret to the SW and the A822 road (Sma Glen) to the E and SE. Auchnafree Hill lies near the W margin of the long summit ridge which runs from A'Chairidh in the W to Meall Tarsuinn (648m) in the E. Several tracks lead onto this long ridge, but due to the complex nature of this hill you are recommended to ascend via the track from the dam at Loch Turret to the S or on the track from Auchnafree in Glen Almond onto Crom Chreag which lies to the N of Auchnafree Hill.

Climbed on 10/4/08 - an odd one this - snow was falling and lay all over the Loch Turret track. At the summit plateau I knew from my map that there was more than one cairn, and the small one that I could see from a larger one (through the cloud) was higher. A few paces north of the shorter one I discovered the fence posts, confirming that I had found the summit. On the descent, almost all traces of snow had vanished and the cloud lifted. Even the previously elusive Ben Chonzie made an appearance.

Did this in reverse to the plan here...This walk is quite pleasant as far as the summit of Choinneachan (787m) with good view from there...the traverse across between Auchnafree & this second top is a bit of a bog trot...I should have gone clockwise but decided on the stiffer & more interesting direct ascent...so the 2km across the moor for a lousy 2m increase in height was kind of a bummer !
