Drove in from the A82 to park at Achallader Farm. Set off at 9.30am through the farm, across the railway and up a strong path to the col between Beinn Achaladair and Beinn an Dothaidh to the west. Easy ascent up broad ridge to the south top, then on along wide and fairly level ridge to the main top for lunch. Excellent views out across Rannoch Moor to the Black Mount. Continued over Meall Buidhe, then a steep but short ascent to the summit of Beinn a'Chreachain. Descended east, then down into the corrie. Beautiful walk back through Cranach Wood, then along the valley floor to Achallader Farm.

				Beinn Achaladair View from the south summit, looking east towards Meall Buidhe and the rounded dome of Beinn a'Chreachain.
Coire an Lochain Looking west over Lochan a' Chreachain below the cliffs of Meall Buidhe, with Beinn Acahladair in the distance (left) and the hills of the Black Mount across Rannoch Moor to the right.
