Takeoff description

From the parking spot head over the main road to a track just next to the roundabout where the A832 meets the A890. After a short distance, turn right at a signpost leading to the hill path. Follow this path to where it crosses the Allt Achadh na Sine and then follow the stream uphill before branching off to take a more direct line up the hillside towards Creagan nan Laogh. Launch options are plentiful here on the slopes looking back towards Acnasheen. For those wishing to visit the summit, it’s easiest to continue northwards, descending slightly, before another short climb up to the summit ridge of Fionn Bheinn.
