Cam Chreag lies to the east of Meall Buidhe and can easily be included with the Munro or tackled on its own.
Above the semi-derelict cottages of Pubil, pathless crests give a decent hill-walk.
Meall Buidhe with Cam Chreag
Distance : 13km, ascent : 800m
Cam Chreag lies to the east of Meall Buidhe and can easily be included with the Munro or tackled on its own.
On its own it is probably best approached from Innerwick to the east in Glen Lyon, where there is ample parking by a notice board and cairn.
To include it with Meall Buidhe, head up the Munro as described in the main route above and return to the dip between the minor top of 917m and Meall a'Phuill.
Continue over Meall a'Phuill then head east to drop to the Carn Lairig Meachdainn and climb the grassy slopes to the Cam Chreag's summit.
Return to the Lairig, then aim over grass and heather directly back to the dam.
Stuchd an Lochain with two Corbetts, Meall Buidhe and Sron a'Choire Chnapanich
Distance : 18km, ascent : 1400m
The semi-derelict cottages of Pubil lie 1km east of the Loch Lyon Dam.
Start from here and head up the track past the houses.
At its highest point (c500m), leave the track, cross the Allt Phuibuill and aim up Meall Phubuill.
Grassy terrain continues west to a bealach, from where the route is is obvious up to Meall Buidhe's eastern arm and eventually to its summit.
Return east and drop to cross the Feith Thalain and climb to the bealach below Sron a'Choire Chnapanich.
Some bog and more grass lead to this corbett's summit.
South from this summit leads to yet another bealach, from where turn north-east and climb up Meall an Odhar, picking up a line of fence-posts to follow to Stuchd an Lochain's summit.
Leave the Munro summit and follow the path down the south-east side to the bealach before Sron Chona Choirein.
Turn south-west and drop on grassy ground towards An Grianan and eventually the road 1km east of Pubil.
