Bank holiday bump... a trip report of the "voie normale" has been posted in the last couple of days.

Yes, long day but very doable. I finished on LB.

Hi Paul, a site I look after got stung by this too. I've moved over to open streetmap and the leaflet api which with our simple needs was a straightforward port and took less than an hour.

A lot of unhappy developers out there.

I've stayed at the Strontian one which was pleasant. A web search of your thread title will find the others.

Not the normal approach to this munro and actually on this occasion we didn't go to the summit.

The north summit of the cobbler is a walk.
Middle (and true) summit is the needle and is a short exposed scramble. You can walk up to it for a look if unsure. It is one of the finest summits on the mainland.
South summit is tricky and best avoided if unsure.

Assuming you did the full mountain leader training you will have done an overnight camp. What did you take for that? Shenevall does indeed have a full functioning air conditioned loo accessed via the following implement - https://www.ldoceonline.com/media/english/illustration/shovel.jpg

A few to go on a round of tops.
Was on Sgurr Dubh in fisherfield last weekend. Highly recommended, especially with the easterly approach. And if you want a remote feeling then visit the two on Ben Wyvis.

I didn't really fancy any of the Munros up around Glen Shee, which - at least viewed on the map - didn't look as if they had much character

Try them from Glen Callater or Glen Isla(very good) instead. Alternatively, all doable in a day from the road for someone of your stamina.

Its actually graded Mod in the last definitive SMC guidebook. At the low end of the grade but maybe because of the down climb.

Very distinctive summit...

Ok, heres a popular hill.

Your on Sgurr Mor looking towards Carn a'Mhaim, Macdui etc...

Also, if anyone has a recent snow update, that would be great. (I've been keeping tabs on the ground conditions fb page )

Not a route you'll likely end up on but has some more general shots.

When I did the easterly 6 we came in from the north. Started on Binnein Beag(major slog up here, traces of path).
There is an unavoidable burn crossing in Glen Nevis this way however and a trog along the road at the start or end.

This came up on UKC this week too.

It also came up on a well known facebook group recently too with the unhelpful advice of "follow the track you won't need a map"
