Return to Bidein a' Choire Sheasgaich
Bidein a' Choire Sheasgaich and Lurg Mhor from Attadale; 26 July 2011. by Roger Vander Steen

There is a large car park for walkers at Attadale immediately after leaving the A890. A sign welcomes walkers during the stalking season as long as they keep to the standard route over the two Munros. The track to Bendronaig Lodge is well maintained with a good surface, so that it is possible to arrive at the Lodge feeling that the walk is only beginning, particularly as the final 5 km are effortlessly downhill. Unfortunately this section has to be climbed on the way back when one is less fresh.


The footbridge on the Loch Calavie path has a few planks missing but, being dry spell, it was possible to cross on the stones without even getting the boots wet. Leaving the path at 025 393 the trackless, grassy slope eases off at Sail Riabhach and views towards the hills beyond Achnashellach open up. The final climb on grass to the summit is steep. On the way up we saw a clump of white gentianella campestris.


There is a clear path leading to Lurg Mhor, which can be reached in an hour. There was no time to think about attempting the top of Meall Mor. Returning to the bealach, grass slopes beside the stream descend to the head of Loch Calavie and the estate track all the way back.


My preference for long walks such as this is to travel light and cover the distance in a day, rather than carry a heavier load in to a bothy or campsite.


Our route: 37 km, 1500 metres of climbing. Walking time 11 hours 45 minutes.
