Beinn Bhuidhe
Routes up Beinn Bhuidhe above Loch Fyne and Loch Shira
Beinn Buidhe is a hill to leave for a fine day. The views from the summit are excellent, but long approaches and sections of flat, pathless, grass and tussock covered ground will have you getting lost in misty conditions.Main route summary

Glen Fyne can be cycled up to the base of a short walk (3km) to reach the summit, however as the track reaches a gate, cyclists are 'encouraged' to leave bikes and walk an extra 500m. Highland cattle are also present on this route and although docile, they may present a problem if you're taking a dog with you. Glen Shira is longer, however, you can cycle further up on a fine tarred road. You takes your pick !
