En route to the North Summit from the Loch Sloy track | Hirta | 30/08/2020 |
Dropped to col from Small Hill then contoured round to next col passing below crag visible from Small Hill. No established path but in good visibility a very pleasant walk | Oh no I forgot... | 27/08/2019 |
From the Little Hills, contouring around Coire Baintighearna. Tried to follow ridge path going S, but it kept fading out, especially when it got into very steep ground. Spiralled down Coire nan Each, over rough tussock grass, to mast - NOTE, termination of mast track is NOT where it is shown to be on my 50,000 map - not a descent I would recommend, especially in poor viz. | Isbjorn | 22/06/2019 |
Faint path from Ben Vorlich col | thekirkie pirate | 24/05/2018 |
In two minds about this because of high winds in forecast but in the event were much less - no more than 20-25 mph. Straight up and down from Loch Sloy track and good snow when I got to it and excellent along the ridge. Turned out to be a very pleasant short day. | dickscroop | 24/02/2018 |
From Ardvorlich with Steve Smith. Good track initially to NN 3197 1131 then followed fence up till it veered north, after which it was just a steady plod over the rough. On to the euphemistically named Little Hills. | jonglew | 03/12/2017 |
A circuit of BV's tops from Ardlui: Stob nan Coinnich Bhacain via the steepish grassy gully on the south - BV North Top - BV - BV South Top - an improvised traverse, helped by a deer track half the way to West Little Hill - East Little Hill - a descent ending in sustained wading through waist high grasses and bracken above Stuckendroin. | Nick Down1 | 09/09/2017 |
