After doing a bit of research on Walkhighlands we decided that Stob Ban and Mullach nan Coirean would be a worthy introduction so this is a quick tale of our first foray.
The weather was great for this walk, as promised by the forecasters.
We set off from the Lower Falls car park, P & D @ £3 all day not too bad, and started up the path which headed into Coire a' Mhusgain. This is a nice steady walk all the way to the bealach with views into Glen Nevis getting better as height is gained.

- Gen Nevis again from higher up the path.
- Water feature.
- The cliffs and buttress' of Stob Ban
At the bealach we went right and started the steep climb up Stob Ban, this is mainly on fairly loose quartzite rocks but cause no problems and the summit is soon reached.

- Stob Ban from the bealach.
- Ben Nevis and Sgurr a' Mhaim.
- Bidean nam Bian
- Ballachulish munros, Sgorr Dhearg and Sgorr Dhonuill.
The views from the summit are extensive with Ben Nevis, Sgurr a' Mhaim and Sgurr an lubhair dominating and the rest of the Mamores stretching away east and the Glencoe mountains to the south and Mullach nan Coirean looking a long way away westish.

From the summit we travelled north briefly following the loose path downhill, then started to curve west to follow the rim of Coire Dearg.

- Mullach nan Coirean from the ridge.
- Stob Ban
- Cornice ready to fall
The walk over to Mullach nan Coirean is a joy and the views make the time pass without realising how far you've walked, we took our time taking advantage of the calm conditions, the ridge narrows for a short distance about half way over and then broadens to give easy comfortable walking before the final climb to the summit.
There's a large cairn on the summit big enough to give shelter on windy days. Again the views are great from this summit you can see all the Mamores, anybody taking on all ten of them in one day can see the challenge from here, well done to all who've done it, what a mammoth task.

We headed north from the summit and then north east to gain the ridge which takes you back into Glen Nevis.
Lower down the path leads to the corner of a deer fence,
- Sgurr a'Mhaim and the Devils Ridge from the deer fence
- Ben Nevis from the deer fence
from here keep the fence on the right and follow it down. It gets steeper and very wet lower down and it was a relief to get to the stile where we clambered over to follow the new path down to the forestry track. Once on the track the walk back to the car park is straight forward.
We had a good day for our first Mamores walk, they are fantastic mountains, well worth another foray soon.
Looks like the munro count is going to be on target 
Enjoy your Scottish holiday.
