Beinn a' Ghlo
(route)
For those without a car, it's possible to bag three Munros in one long walk from Blair Atholl station (a convenient halt on the Caledonian Sleeper). Walk from the station over the River Tilt, drop down to the footpath by the river, rejoining at the Old Bridge of Tilt, then follow the road up until it peeters out into a track just after Loch Moraig. After another mile or so bear left at the small wooden hut to gain the path running up the side of Carn Liath. This zig zag paths brings you out on to the top in no time, with excellent views across to Schiehallion (amongst numerous other mountains). Then take follow the ridge down NW, NE, NW, then up E, N on to Braigh Coire Chruan-bhalgain. Keep high on the ridge E then NE until dropping down to the col. From there, look to gain the low point between Airgiod Bheinn and Carn nan Gabhar, then finally up on to the ridge to the NE summit; highest point is the final cairn. Retrace steps to the col at 847m and drop down to the SW following the burn. Pick up the eroded path that skirts Beinn Bheag, and finally drops you out on to the track leading back to the wooden hut. Retrace your steps to Blair Atholl station.
