Bridge of Orchy - Scotland's Hills

I left my car on the west side of the A82 north of Bridge of Orchy and south of Lochan na h-Achlaise at the start of old ATV tracks which led to a communications tower. I walked up these tracks to the tower then it was a steady pull through some long grass, avoiding the rocks, to reach the cairn on Meall Mor, however the highest point was an outcrop some sixty metres to the west.

After visiting the high point on this Marilyn I descended fairly steeply to the col with Meall Beag then ascended its west ridge and to the summit cairn of this Tump.

I then returned to the col and worked my way round the west and south sides of Meall Mor gaining some height before descending to the communication tower and the start.
