Geocache Description:

Beinn a Chliabhain


Congratulations to FCL & AFW for being FTF !

This cache is a 300ml screw top container with a logbook and pencil.

Beinn a Chliabhain has a summit of 675m. It can be done on its own or with Beinn Tarsuinn and Beinn Nuis which make up the the classic ‘Three Beinn’s Walk’ which is an 8.75 mile circular walk starting from and returning to Glen Rosa allow 6-7 hours. Much of the walk may be dry, but there are sections which can be very wet. It can be done Clockwise or Anti Clockwise. The path to the South side of Consolation Tor is much easier than the North side.

Preparation to make for walking on the hills


The Scottish weather is notoriously changeable conditions can change at an alarming speed, particularly at altitude, and it can snow at any time in the hills and mountains. Obtain a weather forecast before setting out and carry adequate clothing for deteriorating conditions.

Hill walking boots are strongly recommended for all but the easiest strolls. In any case, footwear should provide good ankle support and have a firm sole and secure grip. Warm, wind and waterproof clothing is essential. This includes gloves, hat, waterproof and windproof jacket and trousers and spare clothing such as a warm fleece and spare socks. Remember it gets colder and windier the higher you climb and, as with all mountain regions, summit conditions can be very different from those at the base of the mountain. Take an adequate supply of food and water.

This may seem like obvious preparations to make, unfortunately there are some people who are unaware of these, on one occasion we met a lady who was going up Goat Fell wearing a cardigan hand bag and heels! Another man who got lost spent the whole night on the hill only wearing a suit!
