An estimate of the time taken based on a derivation of Naismiths rules. Our calculation is based on the horizontal and ascent components of a climb, we do not make a reduction for descent.
Registered users can customise these walking times by specifying their own walking and ascending speeds. They can also add a fixed time period for stoppages.

Easy climb with long walk in. Biggest problem is the risk of wet feet, although stepping stones are available if river is not in spate. Use of bicycle can be considered, but you will have to cycle through streams!

Like the idea of a more mobile base for your next Munro?
Fantastic, high quality, heated, 2-4 berth campervans for hire. The perfect winter base: freedom to choose where you go to get the most from the weather, & a cosy base to come back to after a great day on the hill!
Big Tree Campervans – create your own adventure!

A very average but not unpleasant hill. Take a bike at least part way as the track is quite good and you'll be glad of it on the return leg.

Take a bike my son! I drove up from Lincs and did this in 4hrs the same day. The bike ride in has little ascent, watch out for the big stones on the fords! I steep ascent up the grassy banks of Chuirn leaves a lovely day with easy descent.

Long walk in but gives very good remote views. Fording the river can be quite a challenge at points. Good day though

Enjoyable if you take a friend to talk to on the long plod there and back. Excellenct views of the Bridge of Orchy Hills. The last half mile back to the car is uphill on tarmac and very frustrating!
