From Ardvorlich, cold (ground frozen solid) and bright. Black Craig (including alternative summits), Meall Reamhar (including alternative summit) and Meall nan Saighdearan. Returned along ridge and camped S of Creagan an Lochain (very cold) before descending on another sunny morningRobertP28/11/2023
3rd of 8 sims between Dundurn clubhouse and bicycle left at ArdvorlichTopographer5701/09/2023
Parked at Ardvorlich and followed the track up to the bealach between Glen Vorlich and Gleann an Dubh Choirein. Then steeply up by the fence posts, turning off to Meall na Fearna and across the peat hag col and up to Meall na Fearna. Back tracked across to Beinn Domhnuill. Thus far all in the mist. Would have been tricky navigation in the days before gps and OS maps on the phone. For the rest of the day the sun came out, so easy, visiting Creagan an Lochain, Black Craig, Meall Reamhar, and Meall nan Saighdearan. Then dropped down Fin Glen and back along the road to Ardvorlich. No issues with peat hags and bogs due to dry weather. 22km with 1260m ascent taking 8.5 hours.silveracorn_alan05/06/2023
Very convoluted ridge walk from St Fillans to Ardvorlich. Spent a lot of time avoiding peat hags filled with deep soft snow.daviemore27/02/2022

13 top round starting stuc gharbh finishing beinn fuath from glen artney, biked up the glen for first 6 km.robertphillips21/05/2017
No rain for weeks so this stretch rather pleasant. Could be rather more messy following rain as lots of hags and pools abound.summitter22/04/2017
A big day from tent up track from head of Glen Artney. A round of the horseshoe including Meall na Fearna, the Graham Creag na h-Eararuith and 13 graham tops. Had hoped for some bounding along on grassy ridges but only got those towards end, the rest a bit messy with peat hags, numerous bumps and tops with multiple claimants to be the high point. had some issues with the forest in crossing to south side, now partly felled and I thought I could work through the felled section on what looked like a track from above. Always a mistake, should have gone round west end as originally planned.A good day nonetheless.dickscroop31/07/2016
From N, up thru wood E of Finglen, slightly messy high level traverse to Fuath. Then E-W traverse of ridge taking in 6 Simms and a Sub. This highest summit just in cloud, otherwise just stays clear.RHW10/04/2016
Long ridge from B. Vorlich start, return by road. Hot, cloudy, calm, good views.iangalbraith31/07/2013
