SW slopes of Glas Bheinn A deer fence runs across these lower slopes, and separates the grounds immediately above Achnasaul farm from the upper hill. It's easily passed by dropping the rucksack through, then squeezing between loose wires.

Southern side of Glas Bheinn A thoroughly damp place, frankly. Long rough grass and heathery patches, with a deer fence to slightly impede progress, and a long walk around the hill to get to the two Corbetts further north.
