From Killin along the South Tay Road to Ardeonaig, then along the Rob Roy Way, clambering up northwards from the hairpin bend on the track.

Damage to corner and cap missing. From Auchmore along the Rob Roy Way leaving track for short walk to Creag Garbh. Then across to Meall Odhar. Returned to track and continued walking along Rob Roy Way to Ardeonaig. Superb day after Storm Babet. Really good views from this one.

Ran from the village, got dropped off at the Falls. Followed the road all the way to the dam and just beyond. Before making a path up the open hillside. Could see the trig so knew where I was going. Loved the views from this one. Down to Loch tay and the Lawers range. Since I've completed all those munros

We can see this trig from our lodge at Morenish, so decided it would be great to bag it. Longish walk (probably about 8km round trip) but only the last 500m was heather bashing, wee Hamish had lots of carries but didn't want to stay in the carrier! We were rewarded with great views from the top.

on holiday with some old school friends in Ardeonaig on loch Tay ... started off at the adventure centre, followed the path south up the hill to the water pipe, then followed the track around Meall Odhar, past the phone tower, then headed on up Creag Gharbh from the horseshoe in the track ... great weather for October, cloudless blue sky, giving fantastic views from the top - think this is the first 10 I've given in 106 pillars!! Returned by a shorter, straight line route east between Meall Odhar and Stuc Mhor, finishing off with a well earned pint in the Ardeonaig hotel ... but at £4.90 a pint, it was only the one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhkLywtP7q4

Walking the Rob Roy Way for a few charities in memory of Big Wullie (Black Jack). Easy enough climb to Trig Point as path passes near bye. Managed to talk another keen walker in going to the top of hill. Thanks Wullie.

Given up baggin Munros this week as all streams are in spate. Walked up on good track from near Achmore. Excellent view from the summit along Loch Tay but weather looked threatening over Killin. Continued on eastwards via shielings and down to Ardeonaig then a long walk back along the road.

Top screed damaged. No cap or plug. Compact grass & rock summit. Fine view, although clouds stole the Lawers view just before the summit. Camera temporarily mislaid in car so no pics. Sunny end to a squally weekend.
