ナキール湖のおすすめランニングルート

Very special place - the last Munro for many people.

Public toilets - open 08.00 - 20.00

Awesome view to the Ardnamurchan peninsula and the islands of Eorsa and Ulva in Loch na Keal. Munro giants (Ben Nevis and co) on the mainland can be seen to the north-east. This is Mull's only Munro and it was actually my first ever Munro. It also makes for a great 'final Munro' due to the novelty/fun of the ferry journey over and the relative ease of the walk in comparison to other Munros.

A couple of rotting abandoned boats beached on the shore just north of Salen on the road to Tobermory. Or perhaps they weren't abandoned, but left there on purpose to add interest to photographs.

Stunning views from the top. Suddenly the geography of Mull and its place in the ocean makes a lot more sense - you can see everything laid out like a map.

A' Chioch is a summit on the ridge between Beinn Fhada & Ben More. It stands at 867 but doesn't have very much local relief so is normally classed as part of the ridge rather than a standalone mountain. The ridge is great but quite narrow and scrambly in sections with areas of steep scree to climb. It's not always very clear where the path goes and for this reason it's best climbed on the way to Ben More rather than in descent from Ben More so that you have the summit as a target. None of the scrambles are very technical but they can feel a bit intimidating especially in higher winds or wet weather. All the hardest sections can be avoided by following paths away from the ridge line. Good effort if you keep up a run along this section but it’s still a great running expedition and the descent from Ben More back to the coast is definitely faster!

At 702m and climbed from the sea Beinn Fhada is a good summit in its own right. It's often climbed on route to neighbouring Ben More and offers amazing views of the ridge up to A' Chioch and Ben More behind. Classified as a Fiona.

At 966m Ben More is a Munro and the highest point on Mull. You also run from the coast, so you get almost the entire 966m of ascent on a run. It's a great mountain standing high above everything else and offering great views of the island and the neighbouring islands. You can run it as an out and back but I'd suggest the loop that also takes in A Chioch next door and the awesome Beinn Fhada ridge line.
