Ben Vorlich (Mountain of the Bay) Height 3094ft (943m). Distance 9 miles (14.5km).

There is no real defined paths up Ben Vorlich. You can reach it from Ardlui which is the shortest route but by no means the easiest.

I decided to go up Ben Vorlich from Inveruglas, on January 24th 2005 I went up Coire nan Each to explore the route unfortunately I found nothing that would help but I did get a lot of good pictures that day.

A word of warning grass when frozen can be very dangerous and should be treated with extreme caution.

On the 26th of March 2005 we went up towards Loch Sloy from Inveruglas, the weather looked fine and we had high hopes of going up Ben Vorlich, again the weather was a problem a descending mist which would have spoiled my Photographs made me decide not to go up. On the bright side the final route that we would take was decided.

On 14th of May we parked at the Inveruglas Visitor Centre We then crossed the road and turned left, the entrance for the Private road to Loch Sloy is about half a mile from the Visitor Centre.

About half a mile from the Dam there is a wide ravine with streams flowing down it, because we had the Dog with us we followed the streams (that go underground frequently). Although the intended route is the top left of the ravine, keep to the right of it until you reach a large boulder with a stream flowing through it. There is a well-defined path just beyond the boulder that will take you to the top of the Mountain.
