The people at Ardvorlich want walkers to use the east gate and make this very clear on their signposting. Just over the bridge from the east gate there’s space by the roadside for ten or so cars. Even on an overcast October weekday this was almost full so if it’s a sunny weekend in the summer holidays maybe arrive early to avoid disappointment. The path by the east gate avoid some cottages to the right and Ardvorlich to the left – all clearly signposted. Then you just follow it all the way to the top. It could not be more straightforward. I cannot remember a walk where I had the map out of my pocket less. It’s a lovely walk up the glen for a bit then up the north ridge (named on the 1:25,000 map as Sgiath nam Tarmachan). It gets steep towards the end but is all very straightforward. The top was just about clear of cloud when I reached it but most of the view was hidden. I was convalescent after a spot of ‘flu so I didn’t continue to Stuc a’ Chroin but came down the same way. I first climbed this hill with my father as a little boy on a scorching hot day during the famous summer heatwave of 1976. This was less memorable but an excellent use of a Friday.
