Beinn Mhanach No73
Beinn Mhanach No73 - nr Bridge of Orchy/Tyndrum
Parking down the private rd then slogging up the path/landy track. A sweet section of singletrack worth MTBing sometime. The Munros book suggest parking at the A82. But discrete parking at the track junctions only got a polite wave from the landowners/workers.
Many fords across the river broke the flow. Up across the moorland to the end of the track. Next cut up and across the col to the 849 spot height. Then thru the gate and dogleg left. An icy rocky but easy ridge to finish. About fifty ft visibility all the way from the col.
Descend off the summit. Head back, aim off, towards the fence line. No cliffs to worry about. Then descend the fence line avoiding crossing it to avoid the rolling stream gullies. When pasing the large shed on the way back Igreeted two chaps working on the roof. I had passed two crumpled 30ft roof sections after reaching the track.
Then soak up the 'Loch Lyon' view and back along the ford and landy track.
No 'All Day Veggy Breakfast' at the Little Chef in Tyndrum since it's shut down. The 'Green Welly Stop' has excellent Lattes though.
