My first (and I hope not the last) visit to Streap, via Beinn an Tuim (SubMarilyn), came in April on a fine day with the odd flake of snow. Later in the year Bac an Eich and An Sidhean gave a good outing, including their CTCs, though the last part of the descent into Gleann Fhiodhaig from the north ridge was real 'break an ankle' ground. On smaller hills, a walk round the multiple tops of 'S Airde Beinn, an ancient volcanic crater feature on Mull (photo in last year's Marhofn) was enjoyable. Immediately before, Tom nan Fitheach, despite trees and crags, went easily enough up a ride from the road due west. Not so good was Fell Hill (27C) where the track from the east had electrified gates on an electric fence and it was so murky that no other hills could be seen. Later in the day, comments in Marhofn 58 about White Top of Culreoch (27B) were helpful and I found the top with little trouble. Next day Craiglee (27B) and Rig of the Jarkness gave a good outing. Last of the year was Beinn an t-Sidhein (1C) with atmospheric views over Loch Lubnaig.
