Meall nan Eun (twice) and Stob Coir'an Albannaich

Another Perfect Day back in 2001, cut with my trip up Meall nan Eun with the FCT in 2012

FCT team with Ben Starav behind

Walking up Glen Ceitlein

Heading towards Meall Odhar (the wrong hill)

Quick toilet stop - looking back down Glen Ceitlein


And a more recent look back down Glen Ceitlien

Looking up to our second hill, Stob Coir'an Albannaich

Time for elevenses.

The next ascent, from the top of Coire nan Cmamh to 
Meall nan Eun


The top, looking North and East towards Stob Ghabhar...

And the same top in 2012

and looking South West to Beinn nan Aighenan on the left, then Glas Bheinn Mhor.  Just peeking through the gap is Ben Starav, and on the right Stob Coir an Albannaich

The view North West up the Glen Ceitlein which we have just slogged up in the rain

Just to go up there now, the Stob Coir'an Albannaich


FCT team beat a retreat as one of the party was suffering rather.

Looking back at Meall nan Eun

North from the bottom of Meall Tarsuinn.

One final clamber to the top of the ridge

And the top.  Makes it all worthwhile.  Meall nan Eun on the left, with Stob Ghabhar in the distance, Loch Dochard in the middle and some other bits on the right

And from the top looking South West to Beinn nan Aighenan on the left, then Glas Bheinn Mhor, and  Ben Starav on the right.  They don't all look the same once you've climbed them.  

So here is the same picture with Beinn Chaorach tagged onto the right hand side, 'cos we did that one too

Stob Coir'an Albannaich from Beinn Chaorach.  Just been up there.

The quick way down.

And the welcome sight of Glen Etive, nearly home. Horrendous descent through grass and fern forest not pictured.  Nor is the flat tyre I had, or the 50 mile forced detour home through Aberfeldy.  Still a fine day.  And Beinn Sgulaird taunting us in the distance - another day!
