This area covers the peaks to the north and east of Crianlarich. Glen Lyon forms the northern boundary while the road from Crianlarich to Aberfeldy is the southern boundary. The Ben Lawers group in the east of this area includes seven separate peaks, all Munros, which are part of an impressive 12km ridge line. The western side of this area is generally lower and not as steep but does still home some a number of Munros. All major peaks above 600m are included in the mountains list. The area to the north is Loch Rannoch to Glen Lyon.
I've wanted to do these two Corbetts for a long time, as I love this area. I organised the walk for my Meetup group. There were six of us. It was a glorious sunny day, with some fresh snow. The walk up the first hill (Beinn a'Chaisteal) was very steep and pathless and one man kept to the west of the group. We felt he was heading towards some steep rocks, so we called him back, but he said he was fine. In the end he had to walk all the way back to where we were, and he got so tired that once we reached the bealach between the two mountains, he wanted to turn back. I was concerned that the walk down from the bealach might have been too steep and rocky, so I persuaded him to stick with us, and myself and another person walked very slowly with him. By the time we reached the second summit, he and everyone else was feeling fine, and everyone seemed to enjoy the walk.
