Beinn Chabhair Sat 25th April

While watching several Club members taking part in the Highland Fling I had the chance for a wee run up the Munro in behind the Ben Glas Falls, short run, 8 miles with just over 3000' of ascent. First time up this one, pronounced Bein Kavarr.

Steep climb beside the falls to start then the gradient eases following the Ben Glas Burn up the glen, best to stick to the path close to the river as the wider quad bike tracks close by are pretty boggy. Jogged up this undulating path beside the Ben Glas burn for a couple of miles to the Lochan Beinn Chabhair then a steeper climb.

Looking back down the ascent route over the Lochan.



From the Lochan you could make your way directly up the face but I chose to follow a few faint paths beside a gully to a notch between Meall Nan Tarmachan and Beinn Chabhair. From here there is a distinct path which twists and turns along the rocky ridge to the two summits.

Although a bit hazy took a few pictures of the surrounding views from the summit.

Lochan 1400' below from the summit.



Went back via outward route except strayed onto the quad bike tracks, a lot smoother to look at but soft squelchy stuff and made for hard work. Steep descent past the falls good fun to finish. About 2 1/2 hours. A couple of pics in the Galleria.
