Schiehallion with Peter - Walkhighlands routehummusg03/08/2023
From Dun Coillich community car park clockwise on green & white path, and white dot path to summit. Paths good, single file. Continued clockwise on green & white path to boardwalk in NW & connected straight to Schiehallion path. Straight up & down, back on board walk & back clockwise on boggy green path. Some well placed benches around Dun Coillich with great views of Schiehallion.Lynnebe12/07/2023
From Braes of Foss car park (£3 coins only). Quick up and down while passing through. Good path generally, gets vague in the boulders. Cloud base around 500m with cold E wind, creating sub zero feels like temperature on the top. Car park was busy on arrival post lunchtime, but most people were descending by then leaving the summit and descent very quiet. With Gillianrichard6929/04/2023
From Braes of Foss car park, follow the path and cairns. For Tove's 800th Marilyn. 6.6 miles.JulieB25/04/2023

With Dan ( sort of interesting on YouTube ) A return visit for me, it seems a bigger hill now… all snow avoidable, views a tad muted but extensive in most directions today.stig_nest25/03/2023

From Braes of Foss car park clear skies very windy.colinfielding23/04/2022
Wind and sleet on the ridge, clouds below the summits, slushy snow and drifted snow, hard going at times. No views.Cumbrianexile12/02/2022
Usual way from Braes of Foss. First snows of winter made the boulders at the top very slippery. Gusty gales added to the excitement.robphys21/10/2021

With Ali. Standard route from Braes of Foss. Cracking day, busy for a September midweek.paddyirish29/09/2021
Usual route from Braes of Foss.Mark Jackson20/08/2021
From Breas of Foss car park. The kids’ first munro. Very straightforward path - set off early so had a quiet ascent but busier as we came down. Stopped for picnic and to find the geocache at the top!thecoopers03/08/2021
Arrived CP at 08:15; nearly full and machine broken so staff said I could go free. Was first back to car of the day so ended up as de-facto-'how long to the top?'-answerer. Nice little inversion. There and back in just over 2.5hrs with 15 mins of dawdling - definitely easiest Munro yet. S. Pearl-Bordered Frits just before car. Birnam Hill afterwards.iangpark02/07/2021

Tourist route in the rain.quadbarrel08/11/2020
Did this one with Gillsupermario29/09/2020
Beautiful clear morning, dry no wind until descending. A bit deceptive nearing what we thought was the summit. First Munro for the kids and furry pal, loved it.ainzwils27/09/2020
Parked near monument to the Ordnance Survey then up the waymarked track and along the rocky ridge to the summit. Didn't disappoint.briandavies26/09/2020

Braes of Foss then straight up the JMT path. 3 hours 45 mins all in. Biggest problem was parking.garyhoney29/07/2020
With Northern Hills. Crystal clear day with little snow. Traversed to Lassintullich.deurgar31/12/2019
Straight up and down from car park. Visited old trig, high point and then cairn. Solo.Dangerous Dave23/09/2019
Easy, steady walk on very good path. For anyone thinking of taking a dog up because the path looks easy, the boulder field comprising the flattish 2/3 mile to and from the summit may be very hard work, especially if they have little legs!harpmonk08/09/2019
Climbed from the Braes of Foss car park, with Christopher Brisbane. Windy on top with high level cloud, but good views from the summit, 4hrs all in.chillyman801/09/2019

Most wonderful walk with Dad. Clouds and rain on the summit but made it to the top. Final mile was tough especially as I fell over and smashed my knee but couldn't fault the company. With trimarc2.Fionalevey11/08/2019
With Fiona. My 2nd visit. Forgotten how rocky ridge is. John Muir Society are doing a good job looking after the paths and surroundstrimarc211/08/2019
