Start of Mamores Circuit, but taking in the 10 munros and tops. Two camps on the ridge, 18 hrs on the move and 42km. Great adventure! | Nicky C | 29/05/2023 |
Part of Binnein Mor and Na Gruagaichean circuit | Capt Malbec | 16/10/2022 |
From the junction of the Mamore Lodge road and the B863, following the estate road, stalkers' track and zig-zag ascent to Sgurr Eilde Beag, Binnein Mor South Top and Binnein Mor. Diminishing energy and water (and the prospect of no water sources on the ridges) made me leave Na Gruagaichean for another day. Superb high walking with long views in all directions. | Nick Down1 | 06/06/2022 |
climbed as part of the 4 East Mamores, excellent day out on my own. | Kevthecat | 03/06/2022 |

making an effort to get out again - after being POHM for months - and it was an effort | Scmccabe | 03/04/2021 |
At last, after several failed hikes (due to my laziness e.g. not getting out of bed) I bagged another two Munros today, meaning I have now bagged 141 out of 282 or 50% since August 2016 and that’s 33 this year alone, only 2 pre lockdown. 
 
I stayed at the Red Squirrel campsite in Glencoe last night and headed over to Kinlochleven for 09:30am this morning. Heading up a steep stalkers path to the Munro Top of Sgor Eilde Beag (956m), then my 140th Munro of Binnein Mor (1130m), before doubling back and getting the Munro Top of Binnein Mor South Top (1062m). 
 
From here I made my way up the boulder field to my 141st Munro, Na Gruagaichean (1056m), after a short lunch break to celebrate with a cheese roll, I headed over to the Munro Top of Na Gruagaichean North West Top (1041m). There was an interesting loose section between these two summits, which I wasn’t expecting. The descent from the NW Top follows a stalkers path down into Coire na Ba, then out to Kinlochleven.

07:15, 17 degrees, from Kinlochleven via West Highland Way and Mamore Lodge with Bag For Life. We were swimming at Coire an Lochan by 10am, which was a nice cool-off after the increasingly warm ascent. Lovely path on to bealach between Sgor Eilde Beag and Stob Binnein Mor South Top then easy ascent. On to Na Gruagaichean NW Top. | Wycombe Wanderer | 13/08/2020 |

This was a long way off route on The Mamores Traverse: Started at Glen Nevis (06.45) and did all Munros and tops from west to east eventually staggering down to Kinlochleven 12.5 hrs later. Taxi back to HF Glencoe after a well earnt pint in the Tailrace. Best bit: hopping along Sgurr a Mhaim. Worst bit: choosing a direct descent from Binnein Mor in fellrunning shoes with sore feet. | jigglybones | 08/08/2007 |
