| Parking at Mhuille Greens NH283386. Hydro tk then ATV tk (now a linear bog) to about NH282419, then a TR E to bealach and up Garbh-charn. Back to bealach, then ascending TR NE on steep rough grass across Coire Gorm to join high old FP up to bealach W of Aonach na Reise. Sgurr na Ruaidhe, Carn nan Gobhar, re-ascended 90m of Sgurr na Ruaidhe, then short TR S to re-join boggy ATV tk for descent (easier going than descending Sliabhach into Coire Mhuillidh) | Isbjorn 3rd Round | 30/08/2024 |
| I was the 5th car the Glen Strathfarrar gates this morning, I left a bike at Allt Coire Mhuillidh (grid ref: NH 283386) and parked at Allt Toll a'Mhuic (grid ref: NH 223392). Headed up to Loch Toll a' Mhuic, then onto Sgurr na Fearstaig (1015m) Munro Top, over to Sgurr Fhur-thuill (1049m) Munro and Creag Ghorm a' Bhealaich (1030m) Munro Top, these three summits only took 40mins. Sgurr a' Choire Ghlais (1083m) Munro, was a long slog up, but I meet the others doing the round anti clockwise here, I'd had the hills to myself until now. Then into Carn na Gobhar (992m) Munro, I descended into Coire Mhuillidh a pathless boggy trek until I joined the Sgorr Ruaidhe path. Once back at Allt Coire Mhuillidh, John very kindly gave me a lift back to Allt Toll a'Mhuic where my car was parked. Sunny all day great views. | chillyman8 | 15/07/2024 |

| A long day in the wilds of Strathfarrar - after clambering out of a frost-covered tent in Roy Bridge at 5am, followed by a 1.5hr drive up to the entrance gate into Glen Strathfarrar, I parked up and cycled the 8miles through the glen to the end point of the (clockwise) munro circuit. Then a 15.5 mile walk with nearly 1700m/ 5500ft of ascent over the four munros, I had a decent dose of the jelly legs by the time I got back to the bike. Another 8 mile ride back out of the glen, and the car was a welcome sight. Great day up on the ridge though - one to remember! | mproudfoot | 27/09/2020 |
