Fionn Bheinn 933m


50 min drive from Ullapool took us to Achnasheen on the A832.  The weather was good with blue sky and few clouds. We parked in the station car park. The royal Scotsman train was in getting ready for its trip.

We crossed the road to find the track that led up the river. From here we followed the path along a pleasant burn as it went up steadily onto a peat moorland. We were glad it was dry as this crossing of the moorland could have been fun if wet.  We did find a few boggy bits but got round them. Soon we were climbing again to reach the col between Creagan Nan Laogh and  Fionn Bheinn.  Ziggy sagging up  soon got us onto the ridge where we turned left to carry on up to the Fionn Bhienn.  The trig point came into sight and we were awarded with 360 fine views.

From the top we retraced our steps along the ridge and carried onto the end. To where we headed down nice soft grass route to come behind the forest.  We followed this back to the track we went up.
