Beinn Tarsuinn, Beinn Bhreac, Beinn Bhiorach and Meall Mor from Lochranza.Chris Peart06/07/2023
Second visit, with Chris Peart. We were ambushed by a fierce squall as we approached the summit, continuing long into the grim descent to Lochranza. Soaking, over my head bracken was a delightful way in which to finish the dayColin Crawford06/07/2023

Not much heather going up from Lochranza Distillery and bracken still low and not thick. However, pretty tussocky and quite slippery on the descentKiltie21/06/2022
Last of 4 for the day from the Lochranza Centre with Dangerous Dave. We descended to 946492 to avoid the bracken after Beinn Bhreac, Bhiorach and Creag na h-Iolaire. Just under 9 miles and just over 7 hours in great dry conditions and blues skies.bolton20/06/2022

6 degrees at Lochranza, frequent heavy showers on stiff westerlies. From SYHA then route 1 from field study centre. Could hardly stand on summit in wind and rain. On to Craig na h-Iolaire.Wycombe Wanderer17/11/2017
Chilly wind on the top nearly blew the pup away!jenx17/11/2017
WIth Jenx and Bryher plus Denise and Richard McL and Tony Smith. Walked from hostel and cut up onto hill at first lane in Lochranza that seemed to be going the right way! Steep up to 300m following deer tracks then across valley rim to slopes of Meall Mhor. Stiff cold winds blowing from SW made for chilly going and a huddle in the lee of the cairn. Others went for tops further west, we headed SW into the glen and a challenging line towards Torr Nead an Eoinnordicstar17/11/2017
With Denise, Tony S, Rick, Jen and enthusiastic dog Bryer. Easily up grassy N shoulder crossing 2 false summits, one with a large cairn. Fairly constant 50mph W wind at summit. Overcast with high peaks to the S in racing cloud.RichardM17/11/2017
