Carn Mairg Circuit from Invervar

The four munros of Càrn Gorm, Meall Garbh, Càrn Mairg and Creag Mhòr (also known as Meall na Aighean) on the north side of Glen Lyon can be combined in a circuit providing beautiful views on a clear day. They lie on a very broad and undulating ridge looking northerly towards Loch Rannoch and southerly across the Lawyers range.

The route is straightforward and involves a mix of well trodden paths as well as pathless sections and is not expected to be boggy in dry conditions. 11 mile (18km) circuit with c1300 metres of climbing, about 7-8 hours.  There are options to cut the walk short at a couple of points (for example after Meall Garbh) if necessary.
