| Has anyone found a Red Olympus camera in grey neoprene case, lost on the main path (possibly where the path crosses the stream and possibly labelled Cathy Bonface). It was lost on 11 June by my Canadian friend with most of her trip photos. Thanks if you can help; I will remove this post after a few months. Denise McLellan- via facebook. | Denise | 11/06/2023 |

| Ben More via A' Chioch and Beinn Fhada with John - parked at Dhiseig and walked along the road to the start - clag and 45mph gusts above 600m made some of the route a bit dicey - especially the scrambling section between A' Chioch and Ben More (simple scrambling but not when the wind is trying to push you off the hill). 6h 18min for the full round. | mproudfoot | 16/04/2022 |

| Beautiful stroll up the mighty Ben More from the south side. No paths, but the ground wasn't too wet or rough. Spotted a couple of golden eagles and saw some incredible views.the peak was in cloud and snow covered,but it didn't matter really! | Nicky C | 22/03/2020 |
| Clear day with some snow near the top but not to deep, wore trainers no bother. Absolute brilliant views at the summit and would deffo go back. | Kevthecat | 20/03/2020 |

| Leader, walking with 19yr old daughter Ascent of Ben More from sea level via Gleann na Beinne Fada, A'Chioch and the NW ridge that required some scrambling, returning on direct path to Loch na Keal shore. A fantastic mountain day. Weather was fine and dry, summit in cloud during ascent but cleared when topping. Excellent long range views. Day was chosen as a ridge of high pressure was passing between 2 cold fronts in what was otherwise a very wet period. Many marked and unmarked streams were fast flowing requiring multiple crossings plus two significant wider crossings, care required. Wind approx 30mph on summit, presented no real problem on the ridge due to direction. | higlett | 15/08/2019 |
| From A'Choich then descent via standard route. Beautiful clear day with views to Skye and Ben Nevis. | squeegs | 17/05/2019 |

| Climbed with Andy... | FCMark | 10/05/2019 |
| From foot of Ben More path (9:45) walked to summit (12:30). Along fine ridge to A'Chioch (13:25) and on to Beinn Fhada (14:55). Continued round ridge to Beinn a'Ghraig (16:40) - fine stony top. Then off end of ridge and down to road, tricky in woods at bottom. Back along road to car (18:30). Some cloud earlier, but fine day with long views. | dbb | 02/05/2019 |
| 51 - Forecast said high confidence of settled dry conditions, so we drove across from Central Scotland. In the end got very wet, and saw not a lot of this hill, although it cleared later as we explored Mull waiting for the ferry back. | huwthomas | 18/10/2018 |
| Circuit with D and the ozzies before 9th wave | Rodge | 22/09/2018 |

| Cracking day starting from Dhiseig. Weather great until nearing summit. Usual cloud down on top. Great views coming off. | Wayne Mac | 08/08/2018 |
| Due to wrong shoes (mountain boots were in repair) and bad weather did I have to abort when ascending halfway from the south where there are no paths. | hugoklip | 17/07/2018 |
