Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn Heasgarnich is a large mountain with easy slopes and broad grassy ridges, it has scattered rocky outcrops which are easily avoided. The biggest problem with Beinn Heasgarnich are the boggy areas around it. The normal ascent routes for Beinn Heasgarnich are from Creag Mhor via the SW ridge, from the road to Kenknock taking the shortest route round the N of Creag nam Bodach and along the Alt Tarsuinn to the summit, or from the road crossing of the Allt Badour to the S, bearing NW then N to the summit.

Beinn Heasgarnich and Creag Mhor [Loch Lochay]

Easy walking on gentle slopes, but there is boggy ground to cross. Best when frozen or in dry weather.

Myself and Buddy with Creag Mhor and Ben Challum beyond. My camera fell straight after this picture - bent the zoom. Luckily my mum knocked it back into place as Jessops were offering over 100 pound to fix it! 20/05/08

Leave a bike at pass between Glens Lyon and lochay, freewheel back to your car - park at 350m contour above kenknock - where pipeline disappears into hillside - take higher path contouring round hillside to above badour (easily cyclable if you wish)

Do yourself a favor and use a bike on this route. Park at Kenknock and cycle to Badour (or Batavaime). Ascent of Creag Mhor via Sron nan Eun is quite a steep grassy flog. The descent (or ascent) directly from the summit of Heasgarnich to Badgour is straightforward, though will be boggy in wet conditions (minor crags 1 mile SE of summit @ 909m are easy to avoid).

Climbed this hill using public transport from Bridge of Orchy train station. Cycled south to the railway viaduct and walked up Auch Gleann, cutting over to Loch Lyon, all on decent paths and tracks. Brilliant and unexpected (not on the map) land rover track skirts Loch Lyon providing easy access to the wild side of Heasgarnich, whose north ridge is a steep but straightforward climb (likely to be far tougher under snow). Recommended route of course if you are using public transport, or if you simply want to avoid all that nightmarish boggy ground on the hills eastern side!
