Walkhighlands route from Inveruglas. Didn't fancy returning by the steps and scrambles so followed the ridge to Beinn Dubh via BV North and Far North Tops then down to the dam. Cross the burns higher up before descending: the last one is tricky to cross lower down.TRG31829/06/2022

With two friends and my son Jonathan after staying at Crianlarich Youth Hostel (the old one - to be closed the following Monday). From the view point car park, Inveruglas. We climbed up the south slopes and over minor tops to Ben Vorlich Trig point, the main summit, and the north summit. We continued via the north end of Loch Sloy to Beinn Dhubh, minor tops and Ben Vane. Descended by the west ridge. Very hot and sunny.pwbellarby01/06/1985
