Second visit at the start of the Western Link walk back to Ardminish, an easy plod up the pathColin Crawford04/07/2023
In exceptional hot and sunny weather along the the road then the track towards the reservoir. The new looking cycle route north from near the ferry might have made a better starting route. Took quite a bit longer than 40 minutes.Newton Maximus15/06/2023
Up track from road to SE, along right fork in road and then took FP that leads to trig and the top. Great views on a hot clear day. My 100th SIB.PeterD13/06/2023
North along road via short lift then road/track west to summit track north.vegibagger21/05/2023
3rd tump of 6 on a 20km circuit, continuing from Meall a' Ghlamaidh, picking the route instinctively based upon seeing nice rock so I could see the way forward. Unfortunately i ended up smack bang in the middle of the Nw arm of Mill Loch and had to circumnavigate the edges to reach the road and track ultimately taking me up the good path to Creag Bhan. An English lady on the summit apologised for not having the summit to myself and she proceeded to tell me that the rocks were about 650 000 years old. Lovely summit. Continuation Ene to the road and then onto Eilean Garbh...Dazingdale17/05/2023
The highest point, well worth doing.DavieRuts30/11/2022
A lovely walk on an easy to follow path followed by a pleasant afternoon looking round Achamore Gardens.milimana20/09/2022
Tump 4 of 6. Drove W up track from Drumyeonmore Farm, access is permitted / tolerated. Parked SSW of summit at track junction, from where path leads to summit. Also climbed Meall a'Ghlamaidh from the same parking place - we could see mown grassy paths leading towards it.Minto14/06/2022
Stunning day for a long awaited return to Gigha. Visibility was really exceptional all around and it was just such a delightful island to have a pleasant half day wander about.Alex C31/03/2022
Ferry at 10am, then Cnoc Largie, collected Charlie's old dog from the farm then onto Cnoc nan Gobhar, Eilean Garbh and then Creag Bhan with an old trig pivot benchmark close to trig.Dugswell231/03/2022
It would a Be a pity if the tamperers removed this Hump because it is a great location.Kiltie22/03/2022

lovely island, accessed with Rib.tallblond09/06/2012
Revisit. Nice heather & rock summit, fine view. Good path from 646505 signposted to summit. Took car across on ferry as had already got wet once this morning, accordingly it stayed dry for duration of my visit - bagged trig comfortably in the 90mins between ferries but would take longer without car and deserves better if a first visit to Gigha.RHW24/09/2009
12.00 ferry to Gigha. On road for a mile, over golf course and a wall through dense vegetation to bluebell banks and onto dung splattered track leading uphill. WDP through gorse and around to summit. 13.30. trig 8535.arranc30/04/2009
got there just before it started to rain and had to walk back to tent with no coat - got soaked.Skerryvore12/08/2008
Wonderful views, Raced up the hill against ferry en route to Port Ellen, we won! Climbed with my brother Dave, nephew Billy and niece Frankie. Ran down without the rest of the family to get the 14.30 ferry back to mainland.andy14/02/2007
