Spent the weekend at the Ochils Mountaineering Club cottage in Crianlarich. Saturday 28/08/21, I headed round to Loch Creran to bag the Munro of Beinn Sgulaird (937m). There was thick mist at sea level, but I was above this at around 200m. The mist lifted a bit during the day, but it still blocked any views of the sea, with Ben More on Mull, sticking above the mist. 06:50hrs all in.chillyman828/08/2021

From Druimavuic, past rhododendrons blooming in the gardens bordering the track, turning onto the S ridge of Beinn Sgulaird at the cairn, detouring from the path to Druim a'Vuic, over BS South Top, Meall Garbh , BS and BS North Top. Superb views over lochs Creran and Etive and into the Central Highlands from the North Top. On return, I cut down after Meall Garbh to pick up the start of the track leading to Druimavuic. This took a fair amount of weaving around to avoid crags and steep grass, so keeping to the path on the return is probably preferable.Nick Down115/05/2021

Cairngorm Club meet. Alone. From near Druimavuic. Up the track through the forest and then up glen of Allt Buidhe on a rough path to the north of the burn. When well up the glen I went diagonally up the slope to point 856m and then along the ridge to Beinn Sgulaird. Back same way but keeping more to the ridge than on the ascent. Mist on and off all day. Thunder, falling snow and windy on the summit.pwbellarby15/10/1983
