OMC Day Meet: Parked at Inveruglas, Nicky Creadland gave me a lift, eight others there. Walked up the track to dam and up the improved path to Ben Vorlich, then I nipped over to the North Top with Dave Gordon, Richard Moore and Dave Scott. Back the same way, 07:00 all in. Sunny most if the day with clouds drifting through, bit chilly in the upper coire, but warm enough ojce on the summit ridge.chillyman824/04/2022

Got what felt like the last parking spot in Inveruglas at 10 am. Ascent and descent via the track to Loch Sloy, then the Lag Dubh. Felt unrelentingly steep, but rewarded with outstanding views.Hirta30/08/2020

Solo from Inveruglas- sunny enough for shorts, and plenty of people up on Ben Vorlich and Ben Vane. Informaed a large group sitting on the North top that, to their surprise, the true summit was further along. Total time 4h 5minmproudfoot30/05/2020

Debs & Tali. From Ardlui. Parked opposite station underpass although sign in hotel says you can park in the compound/yard across the road. Route as per Pocket Mountains, Southern Highlands. Last bit of the descent fiddly.Mountain Goat23/06/2019
Up the Little Hills from Stuckendroin for the David Batty Memorial walk. Descended over the Munro with members of the Munro Society.NormanW22/06/2019
Trad route from Inveruglas, via Loch Sloy and the Lag Dubh, including N and S tops and both Little Hills. NOTE - the Inveruglas car park is now Pay and Display (£4 someone said). Cars were parked all about (even blocking the hydro-road gate) to avoid paying, as this is an exploitative situation, with little other legitimate options for parking. I parked, legitimately, about 1km S and walked safely up the outside of the Armco - 5 minutes.Isbjorn 3rd Round22/06/2019

Standard route out and back from Inveruglas via Loch Sloy up Lag Dubh. A lovely day with one snow shower and a light dusting of snow and fierce wind at the summit. Did the north top then returned the same way. An outstanding viewpoint and now one of my favourite mountains.Chris Mac26/10/2018
