Pleasant walk around the Coire, cloud inversion over Loch Arkaig, and over Loch Linnhe. Great views. On descent meet a fair few coming up, glad I got there early. Company: Solo | iandesbottes | 12/11/2023 |
Loop from Inverskilavulin en route Stront to Ed. Lovely autumn colours. Cold start but sunny and still. Stiffish cold breeze and clag on top - only glimpses of views. My 100th Corbett. | Rounsfell | 25/10/2023 |
Clockwise route following Walk Highland example from Glen Loy. Solo. NB. Bracken extravaganza on the bottom bit of the way down!! Not able to see feet on path! Above head height. Walking pole needed for bracken thwacking. I hate bracken... | DampandDusty | 01/07/2023 |
Solo from small car park in Glen Loy by Inverskilavulin Bridge. Took track towards the estate lodge, then headed up grassy track leading to a faint path through the bracken then rough grassy terrain up to the ridge. Tapped the cairn on the West top and the traversed the wide ridge east to the final pull up to the corbett summit. Took some photos then headed down the south shoulder, eventually linking with a path down through the brack to rejoin the grassy track used on the walk-in earlier. Very warm day and the midges were on me if stopping more than 20 seconds - breeze on summit gave some relief on both counts. Total time 2h 59min. | mproudfoot | 10/06/2023 |
Started from parking on southside of Inverskilavulin Bridge. Clockwise circuit taking in West top and summit. Enroute to SMMC meet at Invergarry. | clashcityrocker | 25/04/2023 |
Misty on tops, chilly and dam. Had a glimpse of a partial inversion down towards Arkaig which was the highlight. Enjoyed the pleasant flat ridge along the top following the fence posts. | TamCollie | 16/04/2023 |
From Inverskilavulin Bridge. | rhalstead | 09/10/2022 |
From Inverskilavulin Bridge to south. Just before buildings at Inverskilavulin, sharp left. Shingle then atv to end of fence with open access badge. Sharp right to unmapped FB NN 1251 8360. Good path (maybe deer trod) through bracken to fence corner NN 129 841 after which path feint at best | carole engel | 03/07/2022 |
Ignore google maps, there's now lots of parking near the bridge. Steep initial climb, then a nice horse shoe ridge walk. Not much way of paths. | Jhimmy | 28/04/2022 |
Round of Beinn Bhan horseshoe from Inverskilavulin - cold wind but great views. | rjf35 | 19/04/2022 |
With Frances. We drove up Glen Loy and parked across the road from Inverskilavulin Lodges - there was plenty space. Our route was a clockwise high level circuit of Coire Mhuilinn. The climb to the first cairn was hard work as I was recovering from a cold and had not taken much exercise since Lindisfarne. Although we had views on way up, we were in cloud with a cold wind along the top. Old fashioned compass work required to navigate off the summit - powerbank had drained. Did not pick up the path on descent until well down the hill. Good views of Loch Linnhe and up Glen Loy from lower altitude. Briefly caught a sight of an eagle. Corbett no 122 - 100 to go. | langskill | 13/10/2021 |
15.31 with Alex Cameron & Tony Jenkins. Trig S9706. rain squall on way down | vegibagger | 19/09/2021 |
Along with Tony and Charles, getting rather soaked on the way back from this very impressive Great Glen hill top. | Alex C | 19/09/2021 |
From good parking south of the Inverskilavulin new bridge. Directed west of the estate path the path disappears but easy enough, although steep to the cairn. Pleasant summit walk to the high point. Descended into the corrie and then picked up the original route up. With CM. | bolton | 18/09/2021 |
Solo with Rosie by alternate SMC guidebook route. Decided to ascend from B80004 as rivers in raging spate yesterday. Low cloud from 500m but dry. Straightforward ascent and descent apart from the brash at the roadside. | alexmaclennan | 05/08/2020 |

Solo fr Glen Loy, having checked in to excellent Farrow Apt, Corpach, did this in evening. 2h15m. Bitterly cold E wind on top, bits of soft snow, but some great views - blue skies and caps of thin snow on higher hills. | NorfolkPT21 | 05/04/2019 |

75th – With Allan – From Inverskilavulin off B8004. Ascend SW flank directly to summit (trig point) staying on E side of stream. Continue round summit in anticlockwise direction to descend SW flank on W side of stream. Clear, dry day, cool with underlying snow. | RGibbs | 29/12/2017 |
As far as the ridge with Yeltzbagger who caaried on to the top. | Stevie n Tay | 28/03/2017 |
Climbed to the long ridge from Glen Loy with Stevie n Tay. She started back while I carried on to the top and caught her up near the bottom. | Yeltzbagger | 28/03/2017 |
A really enjoyable walk, with almost no bogs and relatively little heather and tussocks. Easy paths get you some of the way up and down the hill, and the going above is easy. The long summit ridge/plateau is wonderful, with easy strolling and huge views. | Gill | 28/10/2016 |
Sudden tempestuous snow flurry at the trig point. Then the cloud lifted revealing glorious views to the Ben Nevis range. Then a very cold and lost collie dog with minor cuts on its paws appeared, and we led it down the hill. About two thirds of the way down it trotted off. When we got back to the car a note had been left by the local farmer thanking us for rescuing it. He had seen us leading it down the hill with his binoculars. | Owen B | 17/02/2016 |
