This group of caches will help you to explore the two Munros of Beinn a'Chaorainn (Ranked #79 at 3,451ft / 1052m) and Beinn Teallach (Ranked #282 at 3,002ft / 915m).
The route begins just off the A86 near Roughburn (860ft / 262m) and then leads through a forestry plantation before emerging into the open glen next to Allt a'Chaorainn. From here on there is no path and the tough uphill slog begins through the heather via the rocky knolls of Meall Clachaig (2,051ft / 625m). This cache is placed on the banks of the Allt a'Chaorainn next to a nice little waterfall, but depending where you approach from, you may have to skip across the large boulders to reach the opposite side. ***It is possible to approach this cache by descending the Eastern side of Beinn Teallach, but extreme care should be taken as the slopes are extremely steep in areas***
When placing these caches I completed the circuit in an anti-clockwise direction by starting with Meall Clachaig and finishing at Allt a'Chaorainn. ***Please note that the lower slopes are very boggy and a river crossing will be required at the end of the route***
Beinn a'Chaorainn (Mountain of the Rowan Tree) and Beinn Teallach (Hill of the Hearth) are much less visited than their better known neighbour Creag Meagaidh to the east. Their lower slopes may be boggy, but the walk along the summit ridge of Beinn a'Chaorainn is a delight. Beinn Teallach was once the highest of the Corbetts before being promoted to one of the smallest Munros.
