| From Baile Ailein, good parking behind bus stop by sheep pens at 271203. Along track and Hebridean Way to 251204 and up E of grassy area of old shieling, Airigh a'Mhula, finding ATV track and then a very nice old path to the shieling at 247206. Rising traverse to the main hill ridge, using good deer tracks and a bit of ATV track. Fine summit views. Despite many days of heavy rain, the going was firm and surprisingly dry, quite an easy walk. | Gill | 15/04/2024 |
| From Ceann Tarabhaigh I took the ATV track that goes over to Loch Langavat, cutting over to Roineval just before the high point. Back via Hestaval and Sleiteachal Mhor. | Chris Peart | 07/06/2023 |
| From Sleteachal Mhor. Over Heastabhal. Rather boggy around the low col but no real difficulty. Descended south, initially on the east side of Allt a' Moa, then west of Lon Heastabhal, to the Hebridean Way and back to Ceann Tarabhaigh. | Owen B | 27/05/2023 |
| Parked just before the turn to north Pairc. Along the track/ path of the Hebridean Way. Shortly before bridge rising traverse linking various green shiellings and ATV track to pick up south ridge. Fine weather with occasional short light showers. | N.Morters | 16/09/2022 |
| CW circuit of 9 hills (2 Ma, 5Tu), with D Dave. P @ 230174. Good weather, nice adventure. Beinn a Charnain, Sleteachal Mhor, Heastabhal, Roineabhal, Suil na Cloiche, Suil na h-Airigh, Suil a'Laghain, Sulanan Ard, Spealdrol | ger | 10/09/2022 |
| From Heastabhal. With Reg. Great views on a sunny warm day. Fine shelter cairn incorporating broken trig. | Dangerous Dave | 10/09/2022 |
| On a 20km linear round of 11 hills with Dave McG from Bowglass, with a second car left at Tarabhaigh: Beinn a' Mhuill -> Cearnabhal -> Cleit Faoph -> Tom na Beidig Mhoir -> Beinn a' Charnain -> Sleiteachal -> Heastabhal -> Roineabhal -> Suil na h-Airigh -> Sullanan Ard -> Spealdroll. | jonglew | 20/09/2019 |

| Round of Roineval, Heastabhal and Sleteachal from Ceann Tarabhaigh (good parking). Direct line up by burn to Roineval. Wintry showers but reasonably dry underfoot and mostly a good walking surface helped by occasional ATV tracks. | AndrewFinnimore | 06/05/2019 |
| From bend in road to SE. Sleteachal Mhor, Heastabhal & Roineabhal. With PM. | CJM | 19/07/2018 |
| Sleiteachal Mhor, Heastabhal and to the col before heading NW to the summit with CM. On returning to the car at 230174 a track can be picked up around 227195 which makes the going very easy. Just over 4 hours and 7 miles. | bolton | 19/07/2018 |
| Parked at Ceann Tarabhaigh - After bagging Sleteachal Mhor & Heastabhal, descended to col & then up between rock outcrops to the summit shelter - A fairly rough descent down E. side of valley back to car; better option may have been to keep to higher ground further E. (S) | gerrybowes | 23/06/2017 |
| Round of Sleteachal Mhor and Roineabhal from Ceann Tarabhaigh. This is a nice top, with a good little shelter incorporating bits of the old trig. | jenx | 05/05/2016 |
| With Jenx, after Sleteachal Mhor and associated minor tops. Avoided the weather apparent to the south. Great summit shelter with old trig pieces evident. | nordicstar | 05/05/2016 |

| With Mora, from the A859 at Cean Tarabhaigh. | BLACKHILL | 06/06/2012 |
| Alighted bus at Bowglas with moderate hangover which didn't prevent an excellent day's walk over Liuthaid, Kearnaval, Sleiteachal Mhor and Roineval in time to catch late afternoon bus back to Tarbert. | lordtonult | 11/06/2011 |
| Via A859 and Sleiteachal Mhor. A conspicuous and locally steep summit. No paths at all. | Topographer57 | 06/06/2011 |

| Revisit. Heathery hill, rocky crag-girt summit. Approached from ESE this time, B8060 jct, track partway then undulating dampish heather, drier & better than from S. Rain caught me at summit, then didn't stop all day. | RHW | 29/08/2007 |
| Round of both tops of Sleteachal Mhor and Roineabhal from Ceann Tarabhaigh. The boat house between the two is locked. | Eddie | 15/07/2007 |
