Beinn Bhreac, Moidart

I left my car beside a vehicle track at Blain, north of Acharacle on the A861 Lochailort to Salen Road, and walked north up this track which crossed the Blain Burn.

Beyond a rough path continued to Loch Blain and Lochan na Fola.

At a junction of paths I followed the one that headed north towards Loch Moidart. After gaining a bit of height I left the path and ascended the Marilyn, Beinn Bhreac, where the summit was marked by a cairn. There were good views of the Small Isles and Beinn Resipol.
