Summit Plateau
We've finally done the climb and reached the moonlike barren plateau of Beinn Mheadhoin. The impressive granite tors in the distance are our destination and mark the true summit, only another 0.5 miles to go across the plateau. For scale, people are stood on the summit tor.
Beinn Mheadhoin (pronounced Bane Vee-arrn) meaning 'The Middle Hill' stands at 1182 meters (3878 feet) and is my 14th Munro. The summit plateau is strewn with some spectacular granite rocky tors and lies at the remote heart of the Cairngorms. The cycle in up Glen Derry was 6.7 miles, with a further 3.7 hike to reach the summit. With the return, the days sees me covering 21 miles Bike & Hike.
