The Two Munros of Buachaille Etive Beag

Stob Coire Raineach 925m and Stob Dubh 958m

The first part of the day will be to ascend the well formed track up the NW flank of the mountain to the bealach between the two munros. If the weather is good the views across Rannoch Moor, over to the Aonach Eagach ridge and Glen Etive will be astounding. After a chance to catch our breath, we’ll move the short distance NE to the first munro, Stob Coire Raineach and return back to the middle point of the bealach and take time for something to eat.

The route to the second munro, Stob Dubh, is SW for 2k and then a last 50m ascent to the summit. From here we have a choice of routes back: an easier way would be to retrace our steps or we could take an interesting trackless route down to Lairig Eilde and then follow it up and over the watershed, 4 k back to the cars.

My suggestion is that we then take ourselves over the road to the nearby Kings House for a coffee.

Walk duration - 6 hours

For Medium, Hard and Extra Hard walks we ask walkers to make sure they have full hillwalking gear, by which we mean definitely the following: Boots, warm clothing, warm/quick drying trousers (not denim jeans), waterproof jacket and over trousers, rucsac, hat, gloves, spare fleece, packed lunch, spare food and drink, small personal first aid kit including any medications, mobile phone, headtorch, and bivvy bag if you have one, and possibly also these other items, depending on personal preference: Gaiters, rucsac cover, walking poles, spare socks, map, compass, GPS, lipsalve, camera.

1. Risk.
The nature of hill walking potentially involves leaders or other participants in providing close assistance to others. For everybody’s protection those people classified as ‘vulnerable adults’ or young people under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an appropriate carer or responsible adult. No special arrangements are available to provide independent supervision for vulnerable people, and the accompanying carer takes full responsibility for them. The carer or parent is best placed to judge the capability of their charges.

2. Children.
We do ask that you only bring children on a walk if you are confident that they will be able to complete it comfortably. At all times, children must be accompanied by an appropriate adult who must take full responsibility for them.

3. Lower age limits.
No children under the age of 16 are allowed on Extra Hard or Hard walks. Children over the age of 12 are permitted on Medium and Easy walks provided that they are accompanied by a responsible adult.

4. Dogs.
In common with other similar events and in consideration for others, dogs are not allowed (guide dogs excepted).

5. Smoking.
Please do not smoke on walks, out of consideration to others.
