Lurg Mhor, Meall Mor and Bidein a' Choire Sheasgaich after a very midgy wild camp above Loch CalavieGeoff Briggs06/08/2023
From Pollan BuidhePeterb25/05/2023
1/2 - Started at Craig and walking in on track to Bealach Bearnais. Then across broken ground to ascent N side of mountain. It's a long walk in. Didn't find much by way of path after the bealach. Still in winter condition above 850m - the lochan at the top of Coire Seasgach still frozen and ridge to summit was firm neve. Made summit for sundown...wychwood20/03/2022
Solo round of Bidein a' Choire Sheasgaich and Lurg Mhor from Attadale - cycled in around 8.5 miles - past the lodge and the bridge over Allt Coire na Sorna, leaving the bike half-way between the bridge and the bottom of the descent route off Bidein a' Choire Sheasgaich. Total ride/walk-in time was around 1h 40min. Did the anti-clockwise walk over to Loch Calavie, then up to the bealach between the munros. Ascended Lurg Mhor first - unfortunately into the clag above 800m, so no views to be had. Tapped the cairn, returned back down to the bealach, then started the ascent up Bidein a' Choire Sheasgaich - again noo views so didn't stop for more than a minute. Returned via Sàil Riabhach and descended from there cutting across to where i had left the bike. Got back to the bike in around 4.5 hours after leaving it. Ride back out to Attacdale was a bit shorter - 1h 15min. Total time car-to-car was 7h 23min.mproudfoot13/11/2021
Rode in on mountain bike to Loch Calavie, 2 hours. Ascended NW to reach Sail Riabhach ridge. Much better route than the classic way from Craig, IMO.Rob Rees15/07/2021

Back to Loch Monar: 4 of us walked in from Attadale to Beinndronaig Bothy, dumped our bags then walked up Bidein a' Choire Sheasgaich & Lurg Mhor before returning to stay in the Bothy for the night (29.1km/1606m ascent). An early rise and 12.2km walk later we were back in Attadale for 9am, shattered. A stunning, remote area and two brilliant Munros with superb views.Chris Mac26/04/2019

2nd of 2. Left Lurg Mhor and stopped for lunch at the belach between the two hills. Easy enough paths to follow in decent weather. Back to bothy and then onto the bike, still had some ups but you'll enjoy the downs ;Dbowzi18/04/2014

Descended to the col below the north face from Beinn Tharsuinn then tackled the steep climb to the summit, initially followed the wall but encountered a couple of scrambles in mist. yorkie11/06/2009
En route to RBS HWC weekend at Torridon. I walked into the bothy at Ben Dronaig Lodge from Attadale the night before. An excellent bothy with a flushing toilet, if you fetch a bucket of water from the burn. There was a Dutch couple round the fire in the main room. I went straight to bed. I walked over Sheasgaich (GPS was slow to spot I was on summit) and then onto Lurg Mhor. The weather was foul and wet with low cloud, so I did not continue to Lurg Mhor's outlying Munro Top which has a very steep grassy slope. I will return for it one day, perhaps combined with an expedition to Ben Dronaig.langskill22/05/2009
