My half-way Marilyn! Number 778 out of 1556. Celebrated it with a cup of hot Ribena. A round of two Grahams and one sub2k from Victoria Bridge, after sleeping there in van. A bit rough in places but not bad. Dry all day, high cloud, a bit of blue in the sky occasionally and very still. Started with Tairbh, and went clockwise. Rounsfell21/11/2023
AB's 2nd round full house completion. I am unworthy. Onto the Sim to ENE with a bottle of champagne inside me. With approx 37 others and a selection of dogs.CJM16/09/2023
Anne B's 2nd round full house completion! About 38 of us parked up at the Inveroran Inn and went up the wet NE ridge. Great celebration at the summit. Excellent clear, calm conditions added to a thoroughly enjoyable day. Headed to the Tyndrum Inn to complete the day!bolton16/09/2023
Amazingly, Anne Butler persuaded me to climb this tedious, soggy, boggy Dull Graham a second time, though I would grudgingly concede that it's got good views. But it was all in a good cause, celebrating Anne's incredible second completion of the Full House. The Full House includes repeating the Grahams for a second time, an achievement that deserves a medal and not just champagne and cake. Well done Anne!Gill216/09/2023
very windy day, beautiful hills but slow progress. Climbed after Ben Inverveighoatcake01/07/2023
Came over from Ben Inverveigh on pathless, pleasant ground. Walked back down boggy ridge to the van at Inveroran. Solo.Dangerous Dave07/01/2023
From Inveroran Hotel, along the WHW until Mam Carraigh, where a muddy track runs up to the ridge towards Ben Inverveigh and its summit point. Continued SW along ridge until SE of Lochan Coir' Orain, where it's a descent to the beallach and a short climb up to Meall Tairbh. Still before noon, so after a bite to eat we bagged the two smaller lumps of Meall an Laoigh and its West top before doubling back to contour below the NE flank of Meall Tairbh, assisted through bog and heather by the occasional deer path and afternoon sunshine.summitter22/11/2022
From Victoria Bridge cp, back along WHW to Mam Carraigh then up NE ridge of Ben Inverveigh to summit. On in very windy conditions (no forward progress at times!) pass Lochan Coir Orain and wind assisted climb to summit. Descent down NE ridge on wet ground to bridge.MichaelF26/10/2022
A circuit of Meall Tairbh, Beinn a' Chuirn and Beinn Suidhe from Victoria Bridge car park; absolutely rammed at 08.30 but I saw no-one on the hill, though 2 eagles, plenty of deer and Bambi in the grass. MT quite pleasant after the initial thrash up deer grass, slight paths at times. Meall an Laoigh lives up to expectations as per the map. B a'C is the best hill, a wall of crags with various lines of weakness; take your pick. I went up the obvious wide grassy shelf below the lowest crags, circling round to the SW then a short scree slope with good deer path below a crag and short climb on grass to the top. BS is just that, a tedious up and down long ridge and a steep descent to the Loch Dochard track on horrible rampant vegetables; best avoided in mid-summer. Walk out is easy and scenic though.Gill09/07/2022

A round of the 2 Grahams and the Marilyn between. Clockwise from the Inn. Took 7 hours. All quite easy. Came back by the forest track which is good. Worst bit was beside the river on the way down to the forest.jenx10/09/2016
From Inveroran, direct up the long 4km ridge, largely pathless and wet. Above 500m the ground eases and some nice ridge walking amidst rocky ground. In a circuit with Beinn a Chuirn and Beinn Suidhe. Good long day.nordicstar10/09/2016
