Sgurr Dhomhnuill, Sgurr a' Chaorainn and Beinn na h-Uamha with John and Jon (and Alfie the retriever). Traverse from Ariundle Forest car park to Sallachan (car on either side). Bigger day than anticpated with some steep rough terrain - particularly the drop off Sgurr na h-Ighinn where we dropped about 100m to find we couldn't find a route down through the crags, so had to reascend to the top to find another route down. Expected duration was arounds 8h - but we got back to Sallochy after 9h 20min, with head torches on. Tough day.mproudfoot04/11/2023
Parked Sallachan (NM 9785 6297). Mapped track along Loch nan Gabhar - impossible to cycle, hard to walk with many waterlogged sections and a very rough,stony surface. Despite recent rain, river Gour easy to cross (NM 9421 6438). From Beinn na h-Uamha, onto Sgurr a'Chaorainn, Sgurr na h-Ighinn, Sgurr Dhomhnuill (steep descent off NW face no problem), onto Druim Garbh, Meall Lochan Mhic Gille Dhuibh (wish I hadn't bothered as it put me into unpleasant ground - rocky outcrops, deep vegetation - finally trig on Druim Glass. From here picked up bike and free wheeled all way down to Ariundle Hostel. Following day got bus from Strontian (1 mile bike ride) and bus stop on village green (very obvious) - currently bus at 8.50am running as Corran ferry shuttle which is currently off for 4 to 6 weeks (told 16th Aug 23). Regular bus is at 9.30am. Sheil Buses 01397 700700carole engel16/08/2023
From Sallachan with Dangerous Dave.ger03/08/2023
Good parking north of bridge at Sallachan. Walked on old road south of Loch nan Gabhar all the way to the end where it is easy to cross the River Gour. Steep climb up grassy slopes west of Allt Daraich to join the broad east ridge to the summit. With Reg. Back same way.Dangerous Dave03/08/2023

3/4 After a'Bheinn Bhan and before Sugrr a'Chaorainn on point-to-point walk from Corran to Upper Scotstown. All but last summit clear. Low cloud coming and going, sun struggling to break through. Rounsfell26/05/2023
Sgurr a' Chaorainn & Beinn na h-Uamha from the Ariundle CP. Through the NNR to the old Lead mines. Up to Druim Leac a' Sgiathain, then contoured around Sgurr na h-Ighinn using deer trods to reach Sgurr a' Chaorainn, then on to Beinn na h-Uamha. Reversed the route to get back. 7hrs.summitter27/02/2023

From Sallachan. To the end of the track, across the river (barely a trickle after a dry few days). Up the west side of Allt Daraich, steep but mostly grassy, not too bad. Faint path in places. Great views on a warm, sunny day.Owen B30/05/2021

During a solo week in Ardgour & Sunart. Did the courteous thing & contacted the local estate office giving detailed proposed route in effort to avoid any stalking. The dubious reply started with 'it would be best for us...if you could avoid planning to take access during this 8 week period...' before grudgingly asking me to stick to paths & ridges. Went out on the hill anyway. From the nature reserve to the lead mine & then up Druim Leac a' Sgiathain as far as the lochan, traversed the slope using a faint path to the col under Sgurr a'Chaorainn. Ascent of slope much rougher than it looked. Then followed the rough ridge to Beinn na h-Uamha. Back by the same route: a tough day. Didn't see any stalkers or anybody else. Probably a bit easier to start at mast on road N of Strontian.NotReallyABagger01/10/2019

Misty but still - long walk in from Ariundledavechaffey29/11/2018
Over Corran Ferry, hoped for a lift on road but very little traffic so walked with all my camping gear. A rough track up Glen Gour, glad I did not bring my bike despite the road walk.Pitched tent then up and down Beinn na h-Uamha. Quite steep but no real problems. track in and hill both pretty wet as was my tent pitch!dickscroop26/10/2018

Cycled up Glen Gour. Track is very poorly drained and, higher up, very stony. At end of track I forded the river in crocs. Ascent mostly grassy steps but is quite steep in places.Topographer5719/08/2018
