Set off from Inverlochlarig car park which was full when i arrived but managed to park on the verge. I walked along the track to near its end before leaving it to cross the burn and then climb up towards Meall Mor, a reasonably hard climb on the soft ground. Once up i aimed to a high point and from there located the summit. Made my way to the summit before heading back down and was soon back on the track back to Inverlochlarig.

Let the pictures do the storytelling JC! Nice one. I have long had the plan of doing this, the neighbouring Graham, the two Corbetts and also Beinn a' Chabhair in a multi-day camping trip. Never happened so far..... :?

Did the same route almost 4 years to the day after your trip. Really enjoyed the walk in but the climb up to Meall Mor through long & very wet grass was tough. Not as lucky as you with the views at the top - some glimpses now and again as the cloud moved around, so appreciated your photos. Descent very tricky as wet under foot. However, even the dog agreed that all in all it was a good day's walking
