Fine tracks lead in from Fersit, adding in Chno Dearg and Stob Coire Sgriodain to make a for long day's hillwalking
Leum Uilleim Ascent : 575m, distance : 10km (from Corrour)
An interesting Corbett peak overlooking Corrour with wonderful expansive views.
Via Drove Road from the South
Ascent : 1700m, distance : 36km
Instead of train into Ossian, you could jog in via the old Drove Road
2km east of Rannoch Station a Right of Way sign points north, rom this a good track leads to a bridge, which is crossed. Follow the path around the south-west side of Carn Dearg's south shoulder, past the Old Corrour Lodge remains to Peter's Rock then Loch Ossian. Bag the munros as already described and reach Carn Dearg. From Carn Dearg's summit, either aim directly downhill over heather back to Old Corrour Lodge's ruins and back to the road. Or follow Carn Dearg's southern shoulder, but expect some more ascent and wet ground.
Another possiblity is to include the Corbett Meall na Meoig, however, Beinn na Lap would probably have to be omitted and the route back out from Coire Eigeach is pathless and hard going over heather and grass tussocks.
There is talk of re-instating the old Drove Road, making it cycleable !
Beinn na Lap with other peaks from Fersit
Ascent : 1050m, distance : 15km
Beinn na Lap with Chno Dearg and Stob Coire Sgriodain
Attain Stob Coire Sgriodain and Chno Dearg from Fersit at the head of Loch Treig (see the 'Around Loch Treig' link above). From Chno Dearg, aim south-east and ascend the top Meall Garbh. South-west again to the bealach before Garbh-bheinn, then pick a route down the steep grass and boulder hillside to reach the Allt Feith Thuill. A trudge up more grass to the summit of Beinn na Lap.
From Beinn na Lap, a long pleasant walk along the north-east shoulder will take you down to the track and the bridge over the burn. Cross the bridge and continue on the track for 1km, then turn left on a wet path aiming north. Follow this path (which is not as good as the OS map would suggest) back to Fersit.
Leum Uilleim
Ascent : 575m, distance : 10km (from Corrour)
An interesting Corbett peak overlooking Corrour with wonderful expansive views.
Start from Corrour Halt and cross over the railway line at northern end of the station. Through a gate, initially follow the obvious track heading west. Some ATV tracks can be seen heading off left, follow these, then look for some fainter tracks heading directly for Leum Uilleum. These tracks cross wet and heathery terrain and the ground begins to gradually rise. Further up the tracks begin to veer left around the southern side of the hill, leave the tracks at this point and get onto crest. Faint occasional paths can be followed onto summit crest, from where a short walk leads to the large cairn on the top. Expansive views in all directions !
Return by the same route, or alternatively head west up the short grassy rise to Beinn a'Bhric, then head north-east for a gentle descent along a broad shoulder. The cairn marked doesn't exist, but there are interesting erratic boulders. Pick up ATV tracks to follow down and back to Corrour Halt.
