Stuchd an Lochain, Map 378W; 15 May 2006 (AM) & 21 Aug 2008 (AM)

Route 1 (without Corbetts): 730m = 2400' ascent; 5.3 miles; 2hrs 40 mins
Route 2 (with Corbetts): 1705m = 5600' ascent; 15.1 miles; 9 hrs

Route 1: With so much driving to reach them, Stuchd an Lochain and Meall Buidhe are best done together with a light rucksack and lunch at the car/dam inbetween. The total for both walks is then 10.4 miles; 4200' ascent; 5 hrs.
However, (for those knocking off Corbetts) both can be done on separate days, including the neighbouring Corbetts Meall Buidhe and Sron a'Choire Chnapanich with Stuchd an Lochain, as in Route 2 below, and the Corbett Cam Chreag with Meall Buidhe, perhaps camping overnight between these days to avoid unnecessary driving. In this case, Stuchd an Lochain would be tackled from Pubil, parking at NN45934187.
Access: The start is about 25 miles from Aberfeldy & 12 miles from the former Lawers Nature Centre. From Bridge of Balgie take the road west for 2.5 miles, then fork right (marked "Lochs Estate") to Giorra Dam (a further 1.5 miles) at Loch an Daimh. Do not drive across the bridge at the dam. There is an unobtrusive gate which may be open if workmen are at the dam, but will be locked when they leave. There were no obvious notices warning that it is private, nor any "no parking" notices.
Weather 15/05/06: 8°C at car; thick, low cloud down to 500m; occasional light rain; light wind.
21/08/09: Warm, but overcast. Cloud base variable around 3000'.
Terrain: Wet peaty paths when off ridges.

Route 2: This route combines Stuchd an Lochain with its neighbouring two Corbetts Meall Buidhe and Sron a'Choire Chnapanich. The terrain is mostly excellent. Follow fence posts where there are any.
Access: From Bridge of Balgie, drive W in Glen Lyon to the dam at Pubil.
Weather 8/10/14: Sun am; clouded over pm.
Connectivity: Both Corbetts and the Munro have a TalkMobile signal.
