From A838, south of Loch Stack. Took the private road/track to Lone. Then hill track to NC 32037 43167, from where a faint path heads steeply up away from the burn to Meall Aonghais. Contoured around this minor top to the bealach, then stony slope up to the summit cairn. Abandoned going on to highest point due to hour and leg pains. Slow descent by outward route, visiting summit of Meall Aonghais. Finished after sunset. With JK, NP and KM, partially. 16.1km, with 825m of ascent.Man of Kernow127/10/2022
Intermittent clearing and clashing. Occasional rain shower, but largely dry. Very slow slog over the boulder slow NE of Arkle to get to col for Meall Horn. Knew its run out of daylight. Long 12 hour day over three Marilyns and two hour 6km walk out in the dark.vegibagger23/09/2022
Biked in part way to put up tent then straightforward walk up to and over South Top and on to Arkle main summit. Return by same route but by-passing S top. An excellent short day with great views.dickscroop17/08/2020

one of the classic hills of britain. a fairly long but easy walk in from the small car park by loch stack, the going only gets tougher when you reach the forest. an awesome hill.stig_nest21/06/2011

Camped with friends near Allt Horn at 400m 335454. In the morning it was misty and damp so we stayed late in the tents. We eventually left at 11:00 and navigated with compass to Lochan na Faoileige and Meall Aoghais, to the 757m summit of Arkle and then to the 787m summit. The last part is narrow and rocky although the summit area is flat. It was very windy, but did not rain. We went back to the lowest point of the ridge to point 757m and descended a gully, roughly southwards.pwbellarby18/05/1997
