Despite being a Corbett and not a Munro, Beinn Bhuidhe is a huge mountain and the full traverse from west to east (or vice versa) a very long walk. We had cut this down a little by a shorter ascent from Gleann Meadail, crossing the Allt Coire an Fhir-eoin and following the Allt a' Chomlaich until we could head up steep slopes into Coire Gorm. This unfrequented route is a little rough underfoot in places, though by no means the worst terrain we'd found in this long weekend trip, and got us onto the main ridge just half a kilometre west of the 855m summit.
