Hi Paul.

It's the actual bealach looking back to the way I had come.

In crap weather the wind's likely to come from behind you walking up the path to the bealach (assuming all crappy weather comes from the west) and you're on a path. You do have the Allt nam Meirleach to cross to get to the path up the Allt Mheuran, but there are a couple of flattish sections where you can get across OK even in spate, I would have thought.

Keep to the left on the way down to the Eas a' Choire Dhuibh as there are no crags on that side of the Coire.

Would echo Alan's comments about the descent from the bealach, tussocky and character forming. The plantation shown is surrounded by a deer fence which you can either work your way E and S around or go through it where the allt cuts through. Once you've made the main Glen Kinglass track I think there is a gate in the fence even though I chose to climb it late in the day - sense of humour failure followed! Camping at Loch Dochard is to be recommended.
