Access to these remote hills is commonly by train to Corrour or from car parking at Rannoch. Got the idea of trying something different courtesy of Steven Fallons excellent site where he champions a Chno Dearg etc bike’n’hike https://www.stevenfallon.co.uk/ossian-beinn-na-lap-to-chno-dearg.html The excellent estate tracks are indeed perfect for cycling, even in their own right. I skirted the lump of Meall Luidh Mor to the north going out and tried the southerly variation coming back which seemed to work well (1 km longer, slightly rougher track but less uphill this way plus a fun twisty fast forest downhill section)
Corrour is idyllic. https://www.corrour.co.uk/ I intend to come back bring quite taken with the idea of Beinn na Lap as my final Munro, staying a night or two. Today’s walk wa..." — davidb • Aug 16, 2020
"Cairngorm Club overnight meet. With several fellow club members. We departed from near Rannoch Station at 19:30 (heavy shower) and went up the south ridge of Carn Dearg, reaching the summit at 22:05. We had been in mist but it was now clear. We went on to Sgor Gaibhre. I went on to Sgor Choinnich (misty) with two members. We went down to the corner of forest near the east end of Loch Ossian, arriving there at 00:35, and stayed there for a few hours." — peter43 • Jun 23, 1984
