"Start 0930h + Finish 1715h = Total 7h45, 24.5km, ascent 1290m Cycle in 0h30, 5km, generally flat Walk 5h55, 14.5km, ascent 1220m Swim stop in Loch Lyon 0h40 Cycle out 0h30, 5km Summits today: BEINN SHEASGARNAICH - Munro STOB AN FHIR-BOGHA - Deleted Munro Top CREAG MHOR - Munro MEALL TIONAIL - Simm, Subhump, Corbett Top Enjoyable bike&hike clockwise circuit over two grassy Munros rarely tackled this way. Roughly similar distance + ascent numbers cf guidebook ‘trade routes‘ but cycling saves time and effort. Plus no road walking and a lower bog factor to boot! I reckon cycling saved 1hr compared to no bike and at 24km it’s doable all on foot if you wish. A couple of streams on the loch side track might get your wet feet after rain e.g. the ford crossing Allt Fionn a’Ghlinne. Good weather today though meant I enjoyed extensive vistas from these central peaks with Bens More, Challum, Lui, Cruachan and Nevis prominent. Drove the entire length of scenic Glen Lyon’s narrow single track road to park next to Lubreach Dam headwall, south side. A short steep section of the hydro road is in really bad condition; just driveable by non 4x4s today, maybe not in future without rep..." — davidb • Sep 27, 2020

"With Jonathan Bellarby. From the end of the public road in Glen Lochay at NN465364. Along the track to Batavaime. Ascended beside Allt Batavaime and then Eag Uillt to reach Stob an Fhir-Bhogha and Beinn Heasgarnich. Descent to the south and then Badour. Rain in the glen and snowing continuously, but lightly, on the mountain - snow level ~1000m. Misty and windy on the top. Fresh snow not adhering to old snow underneath so we had to cut steps in the underlying old snow at the approach under Stob an Fhir-Bhogha." — peter43 • Mar 11, 1984
