| Amazing hike, about 22k all round. Gave me vertigo going over the little paths Didn't go to both peaks which is a mistake. Will definitely be doing it again. | NCurtis | 06/06/2021 |

| From Glencanisp honesty box. Long walk in followed by arduous ascent.Spectacular hill. | Topographer57 | 28/05/2021 |
| From Glencanisp Lodge with J on a blustery day. Unfortunately by the time we reached the foot of the gully, the mist had descended but we continued anyway. The wind made a couple of places on the top part interesting. Had a more leisurely stroll back down and out, passing 3 tents which had appeared by the lochans since our ascent and a lot of other people striding determinedly upwards with large packs. We got back to the car about 15 minutes before the forecasted deluge started. Hope the campers were all pitched before the weather really deteriorated! | NotReallyABagger | 20/05/2021 |
| From Glencanisp Lodge, Lochinver. At last, and a fabulous day. The new path up to the col made by the John Muir trust is a real help although snow and ice made it a little tricky in places. | Peterb | 14/04/2021 |
| Kayak in Loch Veyatie with strong following winds, camp overnight at the foot of the loch then climbed the mountain from the south side and overnighted at the camp then paddled out in flat calm conditions A fabulous trip. | Guy Heelis | 17/09/2020 |

| MC JC O. Round trip in 5 hrs from CP after getting van fixed. Dry ... except on reaching the top, where the only rain of the day fell.This is a return visit having made a 4.5 hr trip one Jan day about 29 yrs ago which ended in failure. Wind, snow and darkness about 5 mins from the top! A long awaited return. Great path to the side of the hill. So much improved from the bog trot of before.Great day. | Martin66 | 01/09/2020 |

| A long but pleasant walk from the car park at Inverkirkaig. Back the same way. Great views on top. Solitude broken by a large guided group who had come up from the other side. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 30/09/2019 |

| Suilven is a very dramatic Dromedary Marilyn, as Meall Meadhonach is a HuMP summit, whose HumQuaCo-line falls within Suilven's Maquaco-line (150metres below the summit) it also has two further TuMPs so its RHB numerical rating is 01:02:04 (1 Marilyn, two Humps, four TuMPs) . 06.45 with Jay Mistry, Rick Lomas, Brad Womersley & Kevin Cooke....an epic, after a snowy cold camp underneath the northern flanks. Been lusting after this baby since I was 15. | vegibagger | 04/05/2019 |
| From Lochinver with B | Danmawr | 04/05/2019 |
| Alex Heenan, Barry McGarahan, Craig Brackenridge Walked in the night before and camped overnight at the base of the climb. Early start and we summited before 10. then headed of to the other peak. After a small climb of around 2 meters which was quite exposed, reached the next summit around 11. Back down at the bottom for 12 and back in Lochinver not long after that. To keep the Ladies at home happy we headed off to Aviemore to stay in Craig's in laws caravan and have a well earned show, meal and drinks out. All in all a top weekend away with good mates. | ian-e | 27/04/2019 |
