Easter 2007. View east into Glen Lyon from about halfway up Stuchd an Lochain. This is a great mountain.

An early start will have you completeing Meall Buidhe before breakfast and then Stuchd an Lochain before your lunch. Give yourself a wee rest in order to plough through the peat hags on the way to Meall Corranaich. On the way down to the road side cairn, theres a great fast flowing burn (April) that on a sunny day you can stop, drink and look at what you have done on not such a tiring day..........

Nice walk but the weather wasn't great when we did it. The cloud did clear from time to time giving us spectacular views of Glen Lyon. Will definitely do again in better weather.

15.5.05. Walk right up to dam itself and you will find a very good path which takes you quite steeply up onto ridge thereafter easy and enjoyable stroll to summit. Gorgeous weather with little breeze to keep us cool. Stunning 360 degree views. Didn't spend enough time at top due to going back to car park to take in Meall Buidhe also. A pleasant Munro!

Set out in fine weather but cold. Conditions eventually worstened and got caught in blizzard conditions. Cleared for a few minutes allowing nice views of the summit.
