| Glen Lyon circuit west to east solo | Denise | 13/04/2024 |
| Did this walk anticlockwise today to rebel against being told to walk clockwise to minimise erosion. I mean come on! Meall na Aighean W top, Meall na Aighean, Meall Liath, Carn Mairg, Meall a'Bharr, Meall Garbh E Top, Meall Garbh, An Sgorr, Carn Gorm. Also 2 swims, one at pool below rickety bridge & one in River Lyon at the allowed carpark. Enjoyed my rebellious walk. | Lynnebe | 26/07/2023 |
| The Glen Lyon Horseshoe from Invervar, following the estate instruction to do the route in a clockwise direction, taking in the 4 Munros and most of the Tops. Parking in the car park is now reserved for residents in the summer season, so all walkers must use the large layby 1 km to the west. Visited Carn Gorm, An Sgorr, Meall Garbh, Meall Garbh E Top, Meall Luaidhe, Meall a'Bharr, Carn Mairg, Meall Liath, Meall na Aighean E Top, Meall na Aighean, Meall na Aighean W Top. Splendid weather with views from Ben Nevis to Ben Macdhui. 27km with 1700m ascent, taking 10 hours. | silveracorn_alan | 01/06/2023 |
| Did the round with my dog. In the clan for the whole route so didn't see a thing! | emily | 06/05/2023 |
| Càrn Gorm, Meall Garbh, Càrn Mairg and Creag Mhòr from Invervar. Solo. Damaged muscle made slow progress but with care the route was completed successfully. Note. 6 spaces in car park in Invervar only. Village now a clearway for 2 miles, no parking available outside of car park which is not enough spaces. Car park apparently closed during stalking season meaning no parking. Estate signs unwelcoming, telling you to stay on path, follow markers and go in defined direction! | meltdiceburg | 01/06/2022 |

| Ascent as part of my anticlockwise circuit of the Glen Lyon Horseshoe. Cold north westerly wind, but dry with clear summits. NOTE: Start at Invervar now 50yards west of telephone box. | knarf | 05/05/2019 |
| From Carn Gorm. It was after this top I decided to bale out of the full horseshoe due to being concerned about the time, weather and feeling tired from the deep snow plodding. Taking the corrie down East of Meall Luadhe though was a mistake. Rough ground and very deep snow. I'dve been as well to push on. | stig_nest | 13/03/2018 |

| Was marked as the Munro location in my SMC guide at the time - but did true summit as well. Meant to be a weeks winter climbing with Darren, Alan & Mile F -however poor snow and wind,rain and gloom so lets go running / munro bagging instead over snow topped hills - some great snow fields to run down leaving stud mark trails.
