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.

Just as a matter of interest, the return via the "dismantled tramway" is a complete boggy nightmare. And when it's not boggy it's overgrown with huge ferns. There are also a couple of dog-unfriendly stiles to negotiate, which would be a fankle if you're on your own, and don't have a willing helper to assist with the dug lifting operation. Oh, and there's a section where a bridge used to be that requires a bit of a wet slippery clamber to negotiate. And we missed the path down to the car park, so ended up down at the dam, and had to walk back. Apart from that, it's great. ;0)

A steady plod across lower slopes, enlivened by a steep iced-up gully through defending crags. Once up on tops an enjoyable high level walk but in Feb 2005 deep deep snow. Return route used was not as recommended as snow slopes on descent to Coire Laire as looked distinctly unstable. Instead headed for Loch Treig!! A remote spot with a single deer / sheep track to follow above the loch; not to be recommended in wind / wet / snow as steep drops all the way into deep loch waters. Also 100ft crag guarding far end. An adventure!

Very pleasant couple of hills! Series of crags (including a fairly challenging, though optional, chimney) to the first summit, which is unspectacular. Then a brief descent and steep rise to second summit, which is much more dramatic. We walked this in winter conditions, squally showers of sleet, whiteout at times, but got some great clear spells on the tops, great views in all directions.
