Bagging the munros in a circuit
Ascent : 2100m, distance : 31km
You could make a circuit of the four munros. Climb Stob a'Choire Mheadhoin and Stob Coire Easain as described on the left. From Stob Coire Easain, head south from the summit, down to Creauaineach Lodge. Around the base of Loch Treig on a good track, cross the railway line and slog up Chno Dearg via Meall Garbh. Return to Fersit over Stob Coire Sgriodain as described on the left. Although this route is not significantly longer or harder than the main route, the trudge up Garbh-bheinn from the railway-line is long and tedious. The view up Loch Treig from near Creauaineach Lodge is lovely however.
Stob Coire Sgriodain and Chno Dearg with Beinn na Lap and a train-journey
Ascent 1350m, distance : 21km
There are 7 tops around Coire Ardair, 4 can be reached sticking to around the coire, but 3 others require sizeable de-tours.
Take the train from Tulloch Station to Corrour Halt, then climb up Beinn na Lap as described in the
Loch Ossian page. From Beinn na Lap's summit, proceed north-west and drop down grassy ground to the glen below. Climb directly up the steep tussock covered ground to Garbh-bheinn, then enjoy a pleasant journey over Meal Garbh to Chno Dearg. Continue over Stob Coire Sgriodain and return to Fersit as detailed in the main route. At Fersit, a path heads along the east side of the railway-line back to Tulloch Station.
The Easains with Sgurr Innse and Cruach Innse
Ascent 1900m, distance : 20.5km
The approach for the Easains combined with the two corbetts to the north starts from Corriechoille - the same starting point as for the Grey Corries. There still seems to be no objection to driving right down to the edge of the forest on the rugged track.
The first couple of kilometres can be done on bike on the fine track up through the forest. Out of the forest, across the Allt Leachdach, the track climbs and becomes challenging on a bike. Leave bikes when cycling becomes more effort than reward, and cut up through the heather directly to Cruach Innse. It's a short pleasant stroll to the summit. A faint path continues south down to the bealach. Sgurr Innse is a delightful hill to daunder up, but quite tricky to climb south from. Initially it took me a few tries to find the correct route down this. Once down to the bealach below Stob Coire Easain the ground is a bit wet, but a faint path can be picked up and followed to the summit of the munro. Bag Stob a'Choire Mheadhoin next and return to Stob Coire Easain, then descend back down the path to the wet bealach. More wet ground and a developing path is descended to the track by the bothy. Follow the track northwards back to your bike for a quick descent downhill to Corriechoille.
