We all drive past this hill many, many times as we dip down into Glencoe. Not the most spectacular of walks but one of the very best view points from the top and most parts on the ascent.
I parked at Altnafeidh about 3:30pm, went up the standard route, very muddy and slide in places, but delightful once on the wide open summit slopes. Went over several time on the mud on the way down, and spent about an hour faffing with new camera on the summit and on the small Brian top that you go over on the way up.
Wee Bookle from the Brian:

and again:
Looking back down the summit slopes with the splendour of Glencoe laid out for all to see (well, me).
North from the summit to more hills, maybe the next day's excursion
Black Mount hills and Big Bookle from the summit. A stunning viewpoint.
On the way down I saw a keen young fella on the way up for a summit camp, he very kindly claimed not to have seen me slip onto my a**e on the muddy descent.
Nothing else to report, except that despite the great weather it still managed to rain on me as I drove down Glencoe afterwards. Rain and simultaneous bright sunshine, gotta love it, gotta love Scotland.
