	Nick Jenkins : The Opinionated Traveller
		Mull is a fairly lumpy island with a group of peaks over 1000ft scattered from end to end.
		Ben Farra is steep but not particularly difficult and within an hour or so we were sitting atop the summit looking out over the islands and the mainland.
		Ben Fhadah is somewhat shorter than Ben More at about 2300ft and from it you can see North towards the other Herbridean islands but the view to the South is blocked by the bulk of A'Chioch and Ben More.

		Ben More is often pictured against a blue sky enjoying good weather.
		As the highest peak on Mull it attracts its own weather, and this can be as good or as bad as any on the west coast.
		Alternatively, in better weather, follow the Abhainn na h-Uamha to the bealach at the head of the glen, on to the north-east ridge of A'Chioch and thence to Ben More, returning by the route described along the north-west ridge of Ben More.

	Outside Edge
		Ben More (Gaelic “the big hill”) stands alone as the only munro on Mull and is a popular choice for a last munro as it gives an excellent excuse to stay overnight on the island and celebrate.
		The base of the mountain is some 16 miles away from the ferry terminal and the public transport on Mull leaves a little to be desired so it leaves the walker with a little quandary of how to get to the start of the walk.
		It starts off steady at first but soon gets narrower and steeper and the final 100m of the climb is a good scramble requiring a good head for heights as the best place to be is right on the ridge as the ground is looser and less secure round to the right.

		Your attention at the start of any journey to Mull is captured primarily by the wonderful views of Oban, laid out around its natural amphitheatre and topped off by McCaig's Tower, a part-completed folly built in 1897.
		The view of the castle from the ferry with Mull's Ben More behind must be one of the most evocative in Scotland.

		The rationale was that I could knock off Sgriol on the way home from the remaining 2 Loch Monar Munros, that I was now intent on bagging later in the month in a 2-dayer from Carlisle.
		Ben More seemed like a safer bet for today anyway, as it could be climbed by its easy NW ridge if the A' Chioch approach was out of bounds due to poor conditions; although apparently the hill rarely held snow for long, and so no difficulties were anticipated from this point of view.
		With the exception of a short but exposed buttress on the crest of the ridge, which could not be by-passed due to partial snow cover on the slope to the west, it was a straightforward ascent.

		Glencoe is only a hours drive north and that opens up a huge amount of extra walking most of it in the “more strenuous” category and Ben Nevis, Scotland and the UK’s highest mountain, is a few miles further on.
		As well as the more serious mountains there is also a lot of easy walks available, some around island such as Kerrara or Iona, some on forestry trails and some on smaller hills.
		In addition the Forestry Commission do an excellent little leaflet of the walks in their woodlands most of which are family orientated with notes on what kind of flora and fauna you might expect to find.

		Ben More is a splendid mountain with narrow ridges and some scrambling opportunities.
		The hill seems much more imposing when seen from there, (especially from across Loch Scridain) and the final section is fairly steep and rocky and worth the effort of not doing it from the North.

		Ben More is an easy summit to climb from Loch na Keal but incredibly boring this way.
		The people with 'challenge' on their mind will definitely climb Ben More with other summits on the ridge leading north and east off from A'Chioch.

		The inshore ends of each tack were becoming a bit more sheltered so I took the chance of looking at the chart occasionally.
		It produces lots more power than my elderly 6hp Johnson but it has its own drawbacks – it’s greedy on petrol and it cannot be swiveled, which makes close quarters manoeuvring much harder.
		Later, of course, we discovered that Ben More’s summit is magnetic.

		The main focus of the expedition will be to continue a programme of biological fieldwork in association with the University of Warwick, but we will also explore the coastline, visit Iona and climb Ben More, Mull's only 'Munro'.
		We hope to be able to extend the fern's recorded range in an area which has been little explored, and will be unlucky not to see eagles and otters.
		All these are legacies of Mull's fiery history in Tertiary times when the whole area was a seething mass of active volcanoes.

		It is a landscape forged by fire and ice.
		About 60 million years ago, a volcanic eruption near Ben more on Mull began smothering this area with layer after layer of molten lava to a height of 6,000 feet.
		Many millenia later, when the lava had cooled and the dust had settled, glaciers began carving our glens and hillsides from the basalt mass.

		After some time of bog and tussock-hopping, and then an easy stretch on a gentle slope, we were faced with fairly steep screes on the west of A’Chioch.
		The party pressed on (some more relaxed than others on the screes) until, we reached and re-grouped on the top of A’Chioch.
		From there an enjoyable rocky ridge led us to sudden arrival at Ben More’s summit.
