From Inveruglas ferry car park: up paved road to below dam and then the well worn path to summit. Surprisingly steep. Pleasant day, rain held off despite the forecast,Lazylizzie20/08/2023

From layby opposite Ardlui station. West along road to first railway underpass where disappointed to find sign saying 'no path', so continued along very busy road to next. Headed SW uphill and surprised not to find any path- very boggy sheep pasture, steep and rocky in places. Cloud above 500m. Via Coire Creagach to summit ridge with lovely path to Trig over HP and N top. Descended via Stob na Coinnich Bhacain, which was better than expected (pathless sheep pasture)Denise 29/04/2023

from Ardlui. Frustrating hill, lots of false summits one after the other, eventually got to the top, clouds and very light snow swept across, nice views when clear. Long way down, missed the bottom bit of the path and managed to find correct underpass after going through some woodland.Cumbrianexile02/03/2023

OMC Day Meet: Parked at Inveruglas, Nicky Creadland gave me a lift, eight others there. Walked up the track to dam and up the improved path to Ben Vorlich, then I nipped over to the North Top with Dave Gordon, Richard Moore and Dave Scott. Back the same way, 07:00 all in. Sunny most if the day with clouds drifting through, bit chilly in the upper coire, but warm enough ojce on the summit ridge.chillyman824/04/2022
