Mountain Description
|
|
|
Meall Ghaordaidh is a large sprawling hill located between Glen Lochay, from where it appears as a rounded featureless hill, and Glen Lyon where its craggy N ridges Creag Laoghain and Creag an Tulbhain are revealed. Meall Ghaordaidh also has a long SE ridge with easy slopes to the path (not shown on map) on the W bank of the Allt Dhuin Crosg and this is the usual ascent route.

An easy ascent on heather and grass. A good walk for a winters day.

Went up from Glen Lyon with my daughter LIndsey. We went up the gully on the right between the crags which gave an easy scramble, keeping to the right of the rocky outcrop nearer the top, basically following the burn. A warm day with super views at the top. Came down the more traditional route.

Climbed with Christine on 17/05/08. Ascended from Glen Lochay, leaving the farm track at the unnecessary cairn near the iron post. Slogged up in 2 hours with the peat quite firm underfoot due to the dry weather. Cold at the summit, but the cloud was starting to lift and we got better views on the way down.

I too tackled this from the North, same route as Andy, there are no difficulties, although there was still lots of snow on this north ridge in May, I would think this route could be tricky in Winter, the descent is a delight, you walk into an exactly semi circular mountain ampitheatre, quite a sight.
