Report from a walk I did last Sunday to the Corbett Creag Uchdag on the
south shore of Loch Tay:
Ardeonaig, on the south shore of Loch Tay was the starting point for
this walk where a sign indicated the 'Right of Way' to Glen Lednock and
Comrie. The initial section of this track was difficult to find as it
crossed fields of sheep and cattle.
Once onto the open hillside the path, sometimes wet and boggy, was more
obvious as it followed the east side of the Finglen Burn. It then
became more intermittent so I left it and climbed up the north ridge of
Creag Uchdag and near the summit I spotted a few hares which ran off.
At the summit trig point there was a cold breeze but at least I had
some views down to Loch Lednock, over to Ben More and Stob Binnein and
across Loch Tay to the Lawers Range.
The return took me along the north ridge of Creag Uchdag before
gradually descending to the 'Right of Way' and back through the fields
of cattle and sheep.
Note - This Corbett can be easily climbed from the south which is the
route I took on my first round of Corbetts.
