Jura fell race | Littledave | 28/05/2022 |
From Beinn an Oir up west ridge via steep, but well stepped gully and scree to the top, Decscendd same way, then down path past Loch an t-Siob back to Three Arch Bridge. Corbett and Graham, 16k, 1090m ascent, 7 hours. | KeithByTheC | 24/04/2022 |
Easy approach to Corra Bheinn from Evans Walk, quite dry in warm weather, good going on a faint path to the top. Clear path back down below SE ridge, then cut across to lochans and path up Beinn Shiantaidh to join SE ridge, traverse path to join easy heather slope to main ridge, block scree, then moss to top. Easy descent, then steep gully, then to bealach. Easy traverse N via lochans and W of small bump to Bealach Bhriste Cnaimhe, deer tracks to Scrinadle. Back down, then contour round at about 250m to Evans path, much more unpleasant on the way back. | Gill | 26/03/2022 |
Camped overnight on Corra Bheinn. Steep climb up the scree with a full pack made it a tough ascent. A lovely, warm, cloudless day. With Gavin Rees. | Dangerous Dave | 01/08/2021 |
During RBS HWC trip to Islay. A solo walk, although Jim and Mark P caught up with me on the summit (they also climbed Corra Bheinn). The scree was hard work. | langskill | 19/06/2021 |

The Paps with ger. | CJM | 13/09/2019 |
Superb Paps hill walk. Initially with Bolton & CJM, then with CJM to Beinn Shiantaidh, Beinn an Oir & Beinn a'Chaolais. Fine weather - a superb walk over fantastic quartzite hills. | ger | 13/09/2019 |
Round of Corrabheinn, Shiantaidh and Oir from start of Evans path. It looks forbidding from all sides, but from Corrabheinn col, I followed an effective path up and around to the south face, then ascended steeply on short heather, only encountering scree near the top. Down the west face, scree at first onto a shoulder, from where a rough path leads safely down through the steep crags. | Topographer57 | 11/06/2019 |

With MVW from Bridge after cycle from Craighouse, then onto NE ridge Beinn Shiantaidh, very laborious scree to summit. then onto Beinn an Oir which was pleasant in comparison. Clear warm day with cool wind. Return via lock and same route back to bikes. | Frank | 09/04/2019 |

Via Corra Bheinn as part of round of the Paps. | Winterfloodian | 17/09/2017 |
Zero visibility above 500m. Tough. | Arbie | 30/06/2017 |
6th hill of 7 today on a circular route from the Three -arched bridge outside Knockrome, climbing Cnuic Charrach, Bheinn Mhearsmail South top, Bheinn Mhearsmail, Beinn Chaolais and Beinn an Oir, descending North via a combination of scree, bilberry/heather and boulderfields. I didnt spot any obvious path up so worked my way up till a path emerged. Great summit. Tricky descent but found a path to profile round snd descend to the lochs just South of Corra Bheinn, my final hill of the day. | Dazingdale | 07/05/2017 |
From Corra Bheinn. Ascent much easier than expected on good path. Summit and view surpassed high expectations. On to Ben an Oir. | Wycombe Wanderer | 24/04/2017 |
Ferry from Islay. Beinn Shiantaidh, Beinn an Oir, Beinn a'Chaolais from E, starting at old bridge. Day started bright and sunny but clouded over - still some fantastic views. 8.5h, back in plenty of time for ferry back to mainland. | RobertP | 04/04/2017 |

With Jenx, used Evans Path (poor and wet, indistinct across moor) to gain slopes of Corra Bheinn. Down the paps path and skirted lochans to path heading up flank of Spionlaidh. Back same way and the 'path' back to start. Stunning fay with 50+ mile views. | nordicstar | 18/08/2015 |
Isle of Jura hill race | CraigW | 23/05/2015 |
Clear path (if very wet and boggy) from the three bridges start point (NR 54485 72035) upto and beyond Loch an t-Siob, after which it petered out and the upper slopes were an interesting scramble, easy enough though, but coming back down was more fun! My book had the start further along A846 at NR 55014 73148, but was advised not to do it from there - can't comment as we didn't. Top half of mountain in cloud, cleared for us as we were going up the corbett, so a great view of this one, but no view from it. | jonglew | 11/06/2014 |
