Found this very pleasant going which is not normal for me as I can only come up from England only so often, weather very good,
views lovely.

Climbed on 3 March 2013. Six of us left the car park at Invervar at 0915 all kitted up with ice axe and crampons, some cloud threatened but spirits were high. we first conquered Carn Gorm Meall Garbh Cairn Mairg then Meall nan Aighean. There was snow on the higher ground but no need for crampons or axe as there were plenty of steps from other walkers. 100% cloud free summits but no photos as the camera batteries were flat. We topped the final munro at 4.05pm and after a swift descent arrived back at the car for 5.45. All great day out with good company and a flying start to 2013.

Climbed on 19/6/10 in clear conditions. This is a fairly straigthforward climb - pathed nearly all of the way. Once you emerge from the forest there is a rather wobbly bridge to cross. The folk ahead of me seemed to take different routes to get onto the path to the right of the forest - a section of the part I was on looks to have collapsed into the burn and maybe handrailing the forest would have been easier. A few false summits and the fallen trig point just beyond the summit gave a little shelter from the freezing wind. A quick bite then onto Meall Garbh.

Did the four on my own with great views of the Ben Lawers range & Schiehallion. I could see as far as Ben More & Stob Binnein through the haze. Invervar Burn was in spate with roaring rapids which made it a significant obstacle as I chose to follow the track beyond the bridge & was forced to cross further up rather precariously on rocks. Once up on the ridge though it was plain sailing to Carn Gorm & the only real hardship for the rest of the route walk was gravity itself. I had a great time on this walk & I was pleased to set a good pace yet still manage to be sociable & take lots of pics.

My son Alan, Border Collies Tino & Ollie & I did the “Glen Lyon 4” on Saturday the 25th July 2009, we finally got the spectacular cloud free views we’ve missed on our last two outings which made this brilliant walk all the more enjoyable!

The ascend up Carn Gorm was easy and we had good views for big parts of the day. Three things: 1. take the big metal fence to the left of a small stone buidling just on the other side of the parking lot. Do not take the eastern gate to the house and 2. it is better to go accross Meall Liath than to traverse round. The traversing takes longer and does not save much climbing and 3. on the descend from meall nan Aighean first retrace your steps, then go west.

Very easy walking up this hill, in good weather, we followed the path to the Invervar burn, then crossed to follow briefly the plantation's edge west before an easy walk over a grassy ridge to the summit. certainly nice and quite compared to Lawers over the glen!

Although this mountain isn't really one I'd recommend to newcombers to Munro's it's got a great feeling of remoteness. If you're new to Munro bagging do Schiehallion instead. Still good especially if you combine it with the other three.
