Date: Sunday 8th November 2009
Company: Myself and Dave
Time: 3hrs 30mins
Dog friendly: Yes
After two days of walking in low-cloud up Stob a'Choin and Beinn a'Choin, thankfully Sunday turned out to be a nicer day.
We parked at the lay-by opposite Loch Lubnaig beside Ardchullarie More before setting off up through the forest. We followed this steep path for around 0.5km before joining the landrover track up Glen Ample.

On reaching a small marker cairn, just after the Eas an Eoin burn, we set off up the frosty slopes of Beinn Each.

As we gained more and more height the better the view we got across to Ben Ledi and Loch Lubnaig.

There were already two in front of us. By the time we got back to the car we had met just under 20 people on this busy Corbett.

On reaching the summit we stopped for quite some time to admire the views. Stuc a'Chroin is really close to Beinn Each, albeit there is a bit of a drop between them.
There were great views of snow-capped Crianlarich hills and Lawers range. To the South we could see a couple of Windfarms, the Wallace Monument and Grangemouth.

We were back to the car by midday and in the Kingshouse, Balquiddher around fifteen minutes later.
An enjoyable half-day Corbett.
