This is the height of the mountain above sea level. However, on the climb, it is the ascent that matters, i.e. the sum of all the uphill parts of the route.
| Altitude |

This is the standard notation used on Ordnance Survey Landranger maps.
Each reference consists of two letters identifying a 100,000 metre square block then three digits defining the Easting and finally the three digits defining the Northing with reference to the South West corner of the block.
NN166712 is the grid reference for the summit of Ben Nevis. Where you are given the map number ( For Ben Nevis = 41) it is acceptable to omit the two initial letters e.g. 166712. (Instructions on how to read the references are given on the OS maps).

Mullach Clach a' Bhlair is little more than a gentle rise on the SW margin of the Moine Mhor, a high moreland plateau. As a track leads from Glen Feshie to within 300m of the summit it is an easy walk and should offer no problems unless you lose the road! N.B. the access track takes you close to crags of Coire Garbhlach.

Great day with my friend Gerry on his Grandads Munro Marathon all the Munros in 100 days and he is 66. Very wintry on top, descended down steep ridge after the summit on Meall nan Sleac .800 metres, steep and heathery but cut some time off.

Note: There is now no bridge across the Feshie at Carnachuin.If taking the estate road on the west bank be prepared to wade the Feshie.

I did this hill on 999 starting from the car park up from Achlean. Rather than do the popular route, walking to Carnachuin, I went the Coire Fhearnagan route which took me east, travelling on good paths, across Badenoch and south to Mullach Clach a’ Bhlair then to Meall nan Sleac, down the shoulder to the Allt Garbhlach picking up a good sheep trail to the path on the east side of the River Feshie and then north back to the car park.

NOTE: The Bridge over the Feshie at Carnachuin is in a state of dis-repair and although we edged across it ok, would not have fancied it if the river was in spate.

Walked the four miles in along the west Glen Feshie road, newly tarmaced so good for cycling or walk-outs in the dark. Easy hands in pockets stroll up the track.
