From Beinn Armine headed south over some rough grough terrain. Steep climb to the summit with Jon Glew, Dangerous Dave and Helen Brunton. Descended into Coir an Eas and then picked up the stalkers path back to the gravel pit at 718311. A long return! | bolton | 12/11/2023 |

From the gravel pit, west of Gearnsary. A great day out with bolton, jonglew & Helen. Creag na h-Iolaire, Meall nan Aighean, Ben Armine & Creag Mhor. | Dangerous Dave | 12/11/2023 |
Borrowed a bike from the hostel, cycled in from Badanloch entrance, 70 minutes into a SW breeze. Left the bike at the fence before the small quarry, took the rough path up to the main track. Along the good track to SE of Ben Armine, up the track towards the col to the west. Over the annoyingly awkward peat hags by the col, up the uneven grassy heathery slope with a fresh breeze and a sharp shower to the summit. | Owen B | 19/09/2023 |

Biked in to the start of the old stalkers path. Great road and views. Lots of hideous hags once off the track. | iangalbraith | 28/07/2023 |

Parked by Badenloch Lodge, cycle to start of stalker's path, L on this & then R on second path almost to col between CM and Ben Armine. Finally L on deer track around col and up to summit. All the Flow country set out before me! Stunning. Return to col and up on to Ben Armine. | MichaelF | 19/05/2023 |

Had phoned the Badenloch estate office in Bonar Bridge to ask if it would be ok to drive in the private road from Badenloch to climb the Ben Armine Grahams. Was told they had finished shooting on estate for the week so it would be ok. Parked up in a quarry about 0.5k east the hill track that contours round the east side of Ben Armine. The cloud base was down to 300m when I set off in the morning so decided to do the walk in first using aforementioned hill track to reach the bealach between CM & BA. The ground between the track and lower slopes of Creag Mhor is a mostly peat hag which made for slow going in the cloud. Once across these the slopes up to top of CM was mostly grassy moss, no path but easy going to reach trig point at top. | Jossker | 03/09/2022 |

A strong headwind made an otherwise easy bike ride challenging. Dropped the bike by a gravel pit above Loch Trudascaig. Up easy stuff to cross the path onto the NE ridge of Meall nan Aighean, short heather towards the top gave temporary relief from rough stuff. Traversed around the side of the hill to a hagged section, and escaped to climb easy stony ground, then shaggy green moss to the top of Ben Armine. Fine views. Very nice descent on dry stony ground, then a raised bog, then down into the stream way. Up to Creag Mhor, at first weaving around hags and pools. The steeper part was much nicer dry ground, past a curious square cairn, to the summit. Down keeping right of the hags, and contouring back to the same point at the col, and then rising traverse to meet the path. On the track below Ben Armine, then bee-line back to the bike. Hints and tips: it is a really easy bike ride, and the hill isn’t nearly as remote as it’s made out to be | Gill | 05/05/2018 |
