Parked Sallachan (NM 9785 6297). Mapped track along Loch nan Gabhar - impossible to cycle, hard to walk with many waterlogged sections and a very rough,stony surface. Despite recent rain, river Gour easy to cross (NM 9421 6438). From Beinn na h-Uamha, onto Sgurr a'Chaorainn, Sgurr na h-Ighinn, Sgurr Dhomhnuill (steep descent off NW face no problem), onto Druim Garbh, Meall Lochan Mhic Gille Dhuibh (wish I hadn't bothered as it put me into unpleasant ground - rocky outcrops, deep vegetation - finally trig on Druim Glass. From here picked up bike and free wheeled all way down to Ariundle Hostel. Following day got bus from Strontian (1 mile bike ride) and bus stop on village green (very obvious) - currently bus at 8.50am running as Corran ferry shuttle which is currently off for 4 to 6 weeks (told 16th Aug 23). Regular bus is at 9.30am. Sheil Buses 01397 700700

Fantastic walk from the Arduaine Woods, car park now reopened as lockdown eases. Didn't really expect to make it to such a fearsome looking jag but despite a little last slog quite easy with the right gear even a rough path. Glorious wintry skies, views out to the isles and lochs and to the mountains of Ardgour, the north including the top of Nevis, Perthshire and Argyll. There is a stump of the vanesta to the "mainland" side of the cairn shelter and a chunk within the shelter.

Pillar virtually destroyed - however a nice location on Ardgour's highest hill.

Found the remnants of the pillar as per Robs note about 50 metres down the boulder field to the east.I managed to squeeze my hands underneath and there is no evidence of the fb on the remains.

Trig remains
Sorry trig

A little bit of pillar next to summit shelter. Terrible weather, rain and mist no view. Still gave a 7 as feel hill is fantastic especially seeing it next evening from Garbh Bheinn.

8 marks for the surroundings but not for the sorry pillar. Fabulous day on circular walk (aided by bus) from Salachan over Beinn n h-Uamha, Sgurr a'Chaorainn, Sgurr na h-Ighinn to Sgurr Dhomhnuill and back to Strontian via Ariundle Oakwoods

Lower 30cm of a cylindrical trig 2m SE of summit cairn; FB gone. No other trig remains seen. Great summit and view. Via Druim Glas: got a lift to top of pass, descended to 830634. Ive since found a Rob Milne note from Nov 2003: < We found main bit of pillar over the side to the E and c.50 ft down in some boulders, no sign of FB. >

A rest day after a day on The Ben.. Took some of the clubs dedicated climbing only types for a taster of the joys of Corbettbagging. Trig in a windshelter with amazing views from this extremely prominant peak that amazingly gets ignored.. It is a good one. Sadly recent reports have it that the pillar is gone or severely damaged.
