BEINN EACH - ROUTE DESCRIPTION:
Location: Glen Ample, Stiriing
Map: OS Landranger 57 (GR 602158)
Distance: 4.5 miles (7 .5km)
Time: 3 hours
Terrain: tracks and paths
When viewed from Stirling, Stuc a’ Chroin and Ben Vorhch dominate the horizon, overshadowing Beinn Each.
Its steep and rocky east face is hidden from view and the long undulating southern ridges present a sprawling profile.
Close up, Beinn Each takes on the characteristics of its near neighbours and is bigger, steeper and rockier than expected.
The starting point is a layby at Ardchullarie More. Follow the signposted right of way up to Ardchullarie Lodge and a
footpath which ascends steeply then diagonally through a plantation to a track. This leads left to the edge of the forest and open hillside.
A rocky path once led through the glen and over to Glen Ample, but this has been widened and levelled to make an all-terrain-vehicle track.
Fairly soon the track crosses the Eas an Eoin and a signpost is reached before ruined shielings. A clear but initially marshy path ascends the West
side, before swinging left to skirt the brow of the hillside. The going is straightforward but surprisingly steep in places.
A line of intermittent fence posts is gained and followed to a small cairn on the summit and impressive views north of Ben Lawers and the
Tarmachans, with Ben More, Stob Binnein and the Crianlarich hills to the north-west.
The safest if longest descent is to retrace your steps, although a quicker if equally tiring descent can be made from Bealach nan Cabar
diagonally south-West across Beinn Each’s western flanks to the track in the glen. Including Stuc a’ Chroin doubles the
distance and the time.
