2/6 - second summit (and first munro) of Fisherfield 6. From Shenavall. Clockwise. Fab clear weather. Boulderfield to ascent this seems endless...wychwood22/05/2023
Shenavall, 6.15 start up Strath na Sealga past Achneigie to Allt an Deabhaidh, diagonally up to Am Briseadh. Up rough boulders to cairn on ridge through mist onto sunny summit above cloud inversion at 9.57. On over rest of Fisherfield Munros back to Shenavall at 17.30. Then walk back to Corrie Hallie for 20.30.Flatfield30/08/2022

Solo round of six from wild camp near the Alder woods at around NH088788 - left the tent 5:30am straight into the most voracious cloud of midges I've ever encountered - headtorch on - fortunately the recent dry conditions had made the river easy to cross without taking boots off. Tough climb up the east side of Beinn a' Chlaidheimh, but above 500m, a light cool breeze kept the midges at bay (and me cool). That was definitely the toughest ascent of the day, but not the toughest part. The ascent up Sgurr Ban was fairly straight forward, the boulders were not terrible and the summit was soon reached (didn't even notice the shelter until I had passed it). At this point, the remaining summits were all covered in clag - but just as I descended to Cab Coire nan Clach bealach to head up the dusty path in the scree on Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair, the cloud cleared off. I bypassed Meall Garbh, and slowly headed up the grassy slops of Beinn Tarsuinn. Met a few other folk at the topmproudfoot04/09/2021
From Corrie Hallie: Did the Fisherfield 6 camping below the summit of Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair. 8 hrs one day, 10 hours the next. Absolutely stunning weather.jigglybones23/08/2021
Fisherfield 5 bike 'n hike from IncherilHuwel20/06/2021
With Alex McBride we set off from the Corrie Hallie around 08:30 on Friday 11/06/21, hiking into the Fisherfield Forest, but we had a navigational mishap and we stayed on the track, passing Achnegie. Before fording the two rivers and pitching the tents at the bottom of Gleann na Muice Beag (NH048785) around 14:30. We then set off to get the two western munros Ruadh Stac Mor and A’ Mhaighdean, but I turned back (moving too slow and tired), Alex bagged both returning to the tents for 21:30. Saturday 12/06/21; we set off aiming for the eastern 3 munros and 1 corbett, but I was fighting a low blood sugar most of the day, in the end we only summited Beinn a’ Chlaidheimh (913.96m), limited views. Then Sgurr Ban (989m), the mist had lifted by now, giving a great panorama of the hills I should have done. We returned the same way via Loch a’ Bhrisidh, getting back to the tents almost 11hrs later. Sunday 13/06/21; we hiked out visiting Shenaval bothy and arriving at the cars for 14:30.chillyman812/06/2021

3rd of 3. Steep descent from Mhic Fhearchair before clocking up Sgurr Ban. Decided to descend via E ridge and then pickup path out....not the best decision I've made. Bike out was epic, absolutely flying! 39.2km, 1860m, 12hr50.bowzi30/05/2014

Group of 8 teenagers & 1 other adult. 8.40am to 10pm! Mist on A' Mhaighdean and last 2 Munros, but compelling views from Ruadh Stac Mor and the divine Beinn Tarsuinn - a great day. Mist on this top. Then some pupils quite tired and we agonised about whether to do Chlaidheimh - I decided no, but it was a long rough pathless descent down to, and then along, Gleann na Muice in the gathering dusk, all exhausted by the end.NorfolkPT2125/07/2012
