Shame there is no trig here anymore as it's such a great location. Even though on this day we would have been blown off trying to stand next to it! Amazing weather with not a cloud in the sky but rather windy!

A pleasant walk completing Beinn Narnain, Beinn Ime and The Cobbler from Glen Croe. Cloud free to start with some cloud on Ime and lots on the Cobbler. Easy walking with good paths. As there are remains of the trigpoint here I can't see why it can't be logged although obviously the bulk of the pillar is gone, the base and metalwork is there and the cairn is built on it.

Steep descent in blizzard from Beinn Narnain to the bealach before an equally steep ascent to Beinn Ime. Intermitent views from summit which has a handy shelter in which stands the remains of the replacement trig point. A fine mountain.

Munro no.80. From the shore of Loch Long, up between The Cobbler & Beinn Narnain. The ridge up to Beinn Ime was more strenuous than it looked. Very little left of the trig. View was good on probably the best day of this disappointing summer, mainly to nearby peaks and an arrow straight view of the A83 heading down Glen Kinglas towards Loch Fyne. Went back via Beinn Narnain.

5/5 for the view, 1/5 for the pillar. All that remains of this stone built trig point are a few blocks of stone, some upright angle iron and the pillar bolt which is buried in the debris. This pillar was originally completed on 16th June 1956, cost £122.15s.6d. Teriary station in Block NS29, Greenock. the original FB No. was S8769, but during a later rebuild replacement FB No. 12166 was issued. The pillar bolt was unearthed for photography and buried again afterwards. 360° parorama from summit. The Ben was approached via Bealach a' Mhain (NN262071), from where other paths lead to The Cobbler, Ben Narnain, and back down to Arrochar. Photographed 1/05/2007, GRP.

Beinn Ime pillar remains and upper bolt.

Seems to have been constucted of a pile of stones and most of it has broken off - the metal foundation supports are still there, and a few stones are stuck to one of them.

The weather conditions today could be best described as a monsoon! What a soaking we got! Needless to say there were no views from the summit due to the weather - I think the mist was down to almost road level. Done this hill from the lay-by at Glen Croe. Trig pillar definately not there. Up with a crowd including Peachy73.

My more experienced companions tell me that this now completely destroyed trig was struck by lightning. I don't think that's confirmed though.

My Munro #21, climbed with Steve Lyon. Approached via Beinn Narnain, in absolutely vile conditions. As I was 'Munro Bagging' rather Trigging back then I never noticed or recorded the state of the Trig Point, nor photographed it, In the attached photograph I may in fact be inadvertently sitting on it...

Beinn Ime What I am eating is, was, and ever shall be, a 'Marathon' bar. NOT an effin' 'Snickers' thank you very much.

My recollection is that the pillar was there in 1988, but I was young(ish) and impetuous, so probably wasn't really concentrating at the top of an early Munro.
