You'll really enjoy this route! Park as per advised route BUT do the route in reverse. At the top of Carn Dearg head N.W and onto Loch Ossian Youth Hostel. This took me 5.5hrs. I then climbed Beinn na Lap in 2.5hrs and stayed the night at the Hostel, you could climb Lap the next day & get the train back to Rannoch. Or like me, walk back the next day to the car via Peter's rock and the path. Use hill phone for stalking days and you have to visit Corrour Stn Hse B&B 01397 732236 WHICH SELLS BEER and brilliant venison burgers! 2hrs looking at views & drinking beer in sunny July. Brilliant!

Did these 2 with Beinn na Lap by getting the early train from Westerton (0557) and back on the 1820 or so train from Corrour. Went round with an hour and a half to spare. Very enjoyable day due to the lack of having to drive - and ability to drink one or two! If I do them again will leave beer submerged in small loch to the right of the path at start of the walk!!!!!
Quite a push up Beinn na Lap but very easy descent to track back to station.

Decided to do this from the Loch Rannoch side on the basis that you can drive there. But on reflection would prefer to do it from Loch Ossian taking the train to Corrour - there is enough time between an early train from Bridge of Orchy until the 6.30pm return to fit it in. The weather when I did these was wet and misty which did not improve my mood. However even on a good day the decent from Sgor Ghaibre back to the ascent path would be extremely tedious over very rough ground - I cursed all the way - may have been the weather again. Popular stalking area, but no stalking on a Sunday.
