To be honest there was a time I didn't rate it so highly as it only has 4 Munros.... but now I can't get enough of it! :D

A very timely post there Dogplodder, lovely to meet you on the Rum ferry the other day, plan is to do this one at the WH July meet along with Cul Beag, Canisp and Breabag, not all on the same day of course :lol: Hope I get similar weather and ground conditions as you.

I doubt it's Cul Mor, but it has that great combination of looking good, having great views and being quite easy to get up that puts it way up the list 8) . Might use it as a 'family walk' in the next couple of weeks. I fancy exploring a longer approach sometime, but I have a feeling the next visit will be by your route again.


I couldn't say which is my all time favourite hill.... but Cul Mor has all the ingredients that go into making a perfect hill - which isn't exactly saying the same thing..... or is it? :think: :D

I'm so glad you spoke as I was so busy hanging over the side with camera or watching the dogs I don't think I'd have spotted anyone unless they were right in front of me! :D
