Join us as we bag a couple of fine Corbetts on the south side of Glen Orchy

The hills in question are Beinn Bhreac-liath (802m) and Beinn Udlaidh (840m) but 'Glen Orchy Corbetts' seems less of a mouthfull!

Our circular route of around 7.5 miles consists largely of grassy slopes making for a relatively straightforward walk with minimal scrambling. Beinn Udlaidh does however have some interesting geological features with a number of corries and a quartzite dyke that bisects it north-east ridge as well as affording fine views to its mighty neighbours, most notably Ben Lui to the south.

Why not make a weekend of it and join us on Saturday 14th August for the conquest of two fine Black Mount munros - Stob Ghabhar & Stob a'Choire Odhair.

Please ignore the first two comments below dated February 2020 - this event was originally scheduled for the start of lockdown in March 2020 and car sharing is currently not advised, except for participants from the same household.
