Like the idea of a more mobile base for your next Munro?
Fantastic, high quality, heated, 2-4 berth campervans for hire. The perfect winter base: freedom to choose where you go to get the most from the weather, & a cosy base to come back to after a great day on the hill!
Big Tree Campervans – create your own adventure!

Instead of return via Meall Damh, try dropping west down into Coire Earb to meet the head waters of the river Falloch. No path, but no navigational problems. Then follow the muddy path down the western bank of the river to starting point.

Start near the bridge S of Crianlarich. Follow the very boggy path (18" deep in places). The white tape leads you through the difficult bits of the forrest to Grey Height. The remainder of the walk is on a very obvious ridge path. I climbed this on 13th April with snow on the top 300metres and really enjoyed it.
