| From Layby at 289738 where a deer fence can be climbed over at the eastern end of the new forest. Easy slopes over Meall Daimh to misty summit but fine views on the way. | mindlessflogger | 20/12/2018 |

| Solo. Late decision as still recovering from illness and didn’t know how I’d feel after yesterday’s Munro. But a glorious day so couldn’t resist. Chose this local(ish) short walk. Weather was so good and views so great that I extended on both ascent and descent by doing extra loops. Actually wondered about coming back down early it was SO HOT!! Glad I didn’t. The climb itself may not be terribly interesting but the views from the top were out of this world. Very happy to be able to climb hills again. | Maggie | 27/05/2018 |
| Meall Diamh & Beinn Liath Mhor a'Ghiubhais Li from A835 at Loch Glascarnoch. On own. | MorecambeMonkey | 06/05/2018 |
| Icy cold. Snow and hail blizzards made this easy hill into a full-on winter expedition. I was grateful to see a shelter cairn on top! Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 23/03/2018 |
| 61st – Solo. From Aultguish Inn, follow Allt Giubhais Beag S, then W between two woods on map, ascend hill taking in tops Meallan Caoruinn, Beinn Liath Bheag, Meall na Speireig, and finally the Corbett. Return retrace then head NE to Meallan a Gharuidhe and back to Aultguish Inn. Lower down very boggy, there are probably better starting points for this hill. Cloudy, but above the lower tops, light rain for a few hours. | RGibbs | 21/09/2017 |

| A valentine's day walk to prove I love the mountains. Skiting along the frozen bogs on west side of the Abhainn an Torrain Dubh in heavy snow showers, I was trying to work out how to cross it, with all the boulders both above and below the water encased in ice. But there's a bridge above the forest, which isn't on the map, yay! I followed the landrover track back a way (also not on the map), and found the atv track going up a fire break up the hill. The final climb to the top was surprisingly awkward, over a mixture of hard ice, soft snow and boulders, but I got spectacular views from the top before the next snow storm blew in. An easy walk down the track to the road; the fresh snow made it miles easier to walk on the sheets of ice. | Gill | 14/02/2016 |
| Circuit of 4 eastern Fannaich Munros and this Corbett from Lochdrum | davidpettit84 | 19/10/2015 |
| From S, after Dearg, as an afterthought, revisit for trig bolt in shelter cairn. Then SE for Speireig. Dreich 19mi 11-top circuit of Sims and HuMPs from A832 just E of Grudie Power Sta. | RHW | 19/06/2015 |
| Standard route - track through forest and then SW over open rough ground. | benalder284 | 25/05/2015 |
| Climbed with someone Imet at Aultguish Inn who kindly gave me a lift back to Inverness. Beautiful weather. Started at Fannich track then followed a land rover track up hill. Reached summit in 1hour 45. Nice walk | munromurph | 19/04/2015 |
| Quick up and down along with Meall na Speireig to beat the forecast snow and wind. just made it. Awkward boggy/heathery ground I places especially on descent form latter top, could perhaps have found a better line with a bit more care. | dickscroop | 29/03/2015 |
| Solifluction boulder ramparts or a pile of old rocks - discuss.Someone has eaten the trig. Have lanced a boil (or is it boiled a lance) as this is my second attempt. Last time the forest track was impassable because of deep soft snow. Nice walk. | Martin R | 20/10/2013 |

| MMC bus meet. Good clear day. | brangie | 16/12/2012 |
| Quick afternoon ascent (2h total) with Dad. Did circular. Easy walk, but this mountain is not up to much to be quite frank. | AGWilliamson | 18/09/2012 |
| Best for the views rather than the hill itself. Short climb just to shake out the legs the day after Wilderness Challenge; that and a swim in the river afterwards worked out fine. | Colinmac2005 | 19/08/2012 |

| From the N, took path along the Abhainn an Torrain burn. Found that in spate it couldn't be crossed - had to walk 2km further upstream, even then touch and go. Still, we could then tick off minor bump Drochaid a'Ghiubhais Li. | Aye Jimmy | 31/05/2001 |

| South Africa rejoined Commonwealth today. From road at W end of Loch Glascarnoch. Across trackless spongy grass, moss - like walking on a mattress. Followed dry drainage channels straight uphill. Over a second deer fence to less hag like surface and to tundra and rings of boulders into mist and to top at 12.10. | arranc | 01/06/1994 |
