Walk Beinn Mheadhoin Ardgour Scotland


Walk Beinn Mheadhoin, Ardgour, Scotland.

Not one of the most popular hills in Ardgour, with many preferring the more shapely Garbh Bheinn or Beinn Resipol, Beinn Mheadhoin provides a challenge when there's snow on the hill! Classified as a Graham, between 2000 and 2500 feet, it is a nice walk with views South to the hills of Mull and on a good day as far as Glencoe.

The bog asphodel shows how to survive in a harsh climate. The seeds fall onto the frozen snow and are spread far and wide by the prevailing winds.

Nothing saps the strength quite like snow with a crust on top which gives way under your feet, with that awful thud! Norrie finding it tough on Beinn Mheadhoin!
