Beinn Eibhinn, Geal-Charn & Carn Dearg from L. Laggan. Map 393
30th May 2003 & 4th June 2008

Route: 25 miles (of which 7.6 bikeable), 5150' ascent, 9–10 hrs.


Evaluation: 3*-4* walk, depending on conditions.
Route: By June 2018, the walk in/out could be biked easily from A86 to about 2kms beyond the ruin at Lubvan. The details below give walking (30/5/03) and cycling (4/6/08) times. There are no stepping stones over the Allt Cam at NN444765, so avoid the river in spate. Reasonable deer paths for return along Dubh Lochan valley.
Weather (4/6/08): Warm, dry, scattered high clouds, breeze.
