From the Strath na Seitge - Fearna bealach over and down to Loch Choire Stable. Deep peat haggs on the ascent from the bealach.	Eddie	09/06/2023
Approx. 90 minutes each way by bike to Loch Choire on good track from Badanloch to E. Largely pathless walking away from loch shore, but not too bad once a bit of height is gained. (Bridge over gorge at NC 642 289 is unusable.)	mae	01/03/2023
1 of 2 …. Sense of humour failure in the peat hags further in. Midgies.	VerySlowPlodder	02/08/2021
Parked (with permission) at 686310 for a long (12h30) round of 3 Simms, 4 HFs and 2 subs. Meall nan Aighean, Creag na h-Iolaire, Maol Coire a' Mhile, Meall a' Bhata (summit and alternative), Meall an Fhuarain, Meall an Eoin, Meall Meadhonach, Meall Ailein and The Whip.	PGCE	03/05/2021
I overnighted at lovely Loch Choire after a walk over from the Crask Inn. The views from Bealach Easach made the walk well worthwhile. The slopes up to the hill from the loch were easy enough but swarming with tiny ticks. I returned by the path from the south, finding it very overgrown and little used in Allt Coire na Fearna	Colin Crawford	09/07/2018
From Crask Inn. Went up grassy slopes from south end of Allt Coire na Fearna. Went down grassy slopes to south-west end of Loch Choire. Another fine day. I thought my 31km, 8 summit day was tough, so I am impressed by RHW.	Alan Moore	30/05/2018
From Fhuarain, fairly direct route picking up S ridge. Arctic bearberry at summit. 29 mile 16 summit circuit from Crask, based on Klibreck.	RHW	09/06/2014
