From parking by A861. Along glen path for 2.9km then struck up hill diagonally, across Bealach Nan Aingidh stream, then on in a fairly straight line to Beinn Bheag summit. Then down to bealach, roughly following old wall and line of rusted fence posts, and up to Sgorr Mhic Eacharna. Headed SE a short distance along ridge then diagonally down towards glen and footpath back to A861. | willyross | 28/07/2022 |

The conclusion to a cracking walk along the ridge from Sgurr nam Cnamh. Descended down the Allt Doire nan Dearcag, avoiding a few minor waterfalls via deer tracks on the W side. Then back at low level to Ariundle. | sclater | 19/12/2021 |

Took bus Strontian to Sallachan 978627 (9:55). Walked up road & path up glen, then struck up NE ridge to trig point and then summit of B Leamhain (11:15). Down NW ridge for abt 1 km till crags eased then down to tussocky col (12:00). Overcast but dry. Long ascent to Sgorr Mhic Eacharna (13:10), then via deep col to Beinn Bheag (14:10). Fine undulating rocky ridge with great views of Garbh Bheinn. Finally down to col en route to Sg nan Cnamh; long slabby then rocky ridge led to summit (15:50). Continued ENE, following the long watercourse down to Ceann a Chreagain (ruin). Weather had been overcast but dry; drizzle began on descent. River low so fordable but rocks v slippery. Walked through woods back to Ariundle car park (18:10) and cycled back to car at Strontian. | dbb | 15/06/2015 |
Coire an Iubhair horseshoe, anticlockwise | davidpettit84 | 06/04/2015 |
Linear walk from Ariundle: Sgurr nan Cnamh, Druim Min, Bheinn Bheag preceded by its W Top,Sgorr Mhic Eacharna to Inversanda. | jimbloomer | 23/03/2015 |
Did the wonderful round of Coire an Iubhair, over the Grahams to the E first. Followed the path up the glen for a short way & then forced a way up on to Druim an Iubhair. This was tedious but worth it once we were up. Followed the broad ridge along to Sgorr Mhic Eacharna & then round the increasingly rough ground to Beinn Bheag. From here, continued along to the minor tops at 692m & 682m & then dropped straight down to the bealach. Ascended a wet gully which looked easier from the bottom than it actually was: steep, slippery & loose at its narrowest point but then easier after that. Wound our way round the rough stuff to the summit & a terrific view before following the long SE ridge down to the starting point. This round didn't do my knees much good but it was worth it! | NotReallyABagger | 10/09/2014 |
round of 3 grahams. | robertphillips | 13/05/2014 |
