Loch Blair - Meall Blair
Loch Beinn Damhain (actually probably ruled out by your 1km rule) - Beinn Damhain
Coulter Res. - Culter Hill
Round Loch + Long Loch of the Dungeon (1km combined and linked by the Cooran Lane)- Dungeon Hill

If you're including Munro Tops then Loch Etchachan - Carn Etchachan would be a challenge! :shock:

Good spots, FraserH!

Dubh Loch and Creag an Dubh-loch - right on the edge of the 1km rule!
Carn a' Chuillin and a linkup of Lochan Carn a' Chuiiliin with Loch Carn a' Chuillin (the linking burns may be a bit shallow!)

Any excuse to look at maps!

There is also Loch Loyal - Ben Loyal which i don't think has been mentioned.

The list so far - completed 6 of these last week.

A ‘Foxy’ is the traverse of a Loch or Lake (over 1 km) and the summiting of a Mountain (over 2000ft) bearing the same name- ideally within the day: But it’s not a race and not everyone likes an early start, and some of us may not be super fit, or have 2 legs, or the weather may just be against you. The traverse of lakes may be in Kayaks, Canoes, pack-rafts, SUP’s or even walking the shoreline to appreciate the grandeur of the surrounding mountains. So, no rules really, just an excuse for an adventure.

1 Ben Avon (Leabaidh an Daimh Bhuide) & Loch Avon
2 Loch Lomond & Ben Lomond
3 Loch Beinn Dearg + Beinn Dearg Mor (good luck carting a canoe in there!)
4 Loch Eanaich + Einich Cairn
5 Loch Fannich + Beinn Liath Mor Fannaich
6 Loch Loyne + Beinn Loinne
7 Lock Assynt & Ben Mor Assynt
8 An Dun + Loch an Duin
9 Dubh Loch and Creag an Dubh-loch -
10 Loch Eilde Mor & Sgur Eilde Mor
11 Loch Loyal & Ben Loyal
12 Loch Hope & Ben Hope
13 Loch Damh & Ben Damh
14 Loch Glas & Glas Leathad Beag (Ben Wyvis)
15 Coniston Water & The Old Man of Coniston
16 Loch a' Beinn Mheadhoin + Beinn Mheadhoin (Glen Affric)
17 Storr Lochs + The Storr
18 Loch Stack & Ben Stack
19 Loch Blair & Meall Blair
20 Loch Talla & Talla Cleuch Head
Very nearly; Cnoc Diahm & Loch an Diamh

Happy hunting

A nice list, Foxytoon. I don't blame you for counting Loch Fannich with just BLMF rather than all 9 Fannichs.
