Second visit at the start of the Western Link walk back to Ardminish, an easy plod up the pathColin Crawford04/07/2023
In exceptional hot and sunny weather along the the road then the track towards the reservoir. The new looking cycle route north from near the ferry might have made a better starting route. Took quite a bit longer than 40 minutes.Newton Maximus15/06/2023
Up track from road to SE, along right fork in road and then took FP that leads to trig and the top. Great views on a hot clear day. My 100th SIB.PeterD13/06/2023

North along road via short lift then road/track west to summit track north.vegibagger21/05/2023
3rd tump of 6 on a 20km circuit, continuing from Meall a' Ghlamaidh, picking the route instinctively based upon seeing nice rock so I could see the way forward. Unfortunately i ended up smack bang in the middle of the Nw arm of Mill Loch and had to circumnavigate the edges to reach the road and track ultimately taking me up the good path to Creag Bhan. An English lady on the summit apologised for not having the summit to myself and she proceeded to tell me that the rocks were about 650 000 years old. Lovely summit. Continuation Ene to the road and then onto Eilean Garbh...Dazingdale17/05/2023

Stunning day for a long awaited return to Gigha. Visibility was really exceptional all around and it was just such a delightful island to have a pleasant half day wander about.Alex C31/03/2022
