Start of Mamores Circuit, but taking in the 10 munros and tops. Two camps on the ridge, 18 hrs on the move and 42km. Great adventure!Nicky C29/05/2023
Part of Binnein Mor and Na Gruagaichean circuitCapt Malbec16/10/2022
From the junction of the Mamore Lodge road and the B863, following the estate road, stalkers' track and zig-zag ascent to Sgurr Eilde Beag, Binnein Mor South Top and Binnein Mor. Diminishing energy and water (and the prospect of no water sources on the ridges) made me leave Na Gruagaichean for another day. Superb high walking with long views in all directions.Nick Down106/06/2022
climbed as part of the 4 East Mamores, excellent day out on my own.Kevthecat03/06/2022

making an effort to get out again - after being POHM for months - and it was an effortScmccabe 03/04/2021
At last, after several failed hikes (due to my laziness e.g. not getting out of bed) I bagged another two Munros today, meaning I have now bagged 141 out of 282 or 50% since August 2016 and that’s 33 this year alone, only 2 pre lockdown. I stayed at the Red Squirrel campsite in Glencoe last night and headed over to Kinlochleven for 09:30am this morning. Heading up a steep stalkers path to the Munro Top of Sgor Eilde Beag (956m), then my 140th Munro of Binnein Mor (1130m), before doubling back and getting the Munro Top of Binnein Mor South Top (1062m). From here I made my way up the boulder field to my 141st Munro, Na Gruagaichean (1056m), after a short lunch break to celebrate with a cheese roll, I headed over to the Munro Top of Na Gruagaichean North West Top (1041m). There was an interesting loose section between these two summits, which I wasn’t expecting. The descent from the NW Top follows a stalkers path down into Coire na Ba, then out to Kinlochleven. It was a beautifulchillyman802/10/2020
07:15, 17 degrees, from Kinlochleven via West Highland Way and Mamore Lodge with Bag For Life. We were swimming at Coire an Lochan by 10am, which was a nice cool-off after the increasingly warm ascent. Lovely path on to bealach between Sgor Eilde Beag and Stob Binnein Mor South Top then easy ascent. On to Na Gruagaichean NW Top.Wycombe Wanderer13/08/2020

This was a long way off route on The Mamores Traverse: Started at Glen Nevis (06.45) and did all Munros and tops from west to east eventually staggering down to Kinlochleven 12.5 hrs later. Taxi back to HF Glencoe after a well earnt pint in the Tailrace. Best bit: hopping along Sgurr a Mhaim. Worst bit: choosing a direct descent from Binnein Mor in fellrunning shoes with sore feet.jigglybones08/08/2007
