Pond on Meall mhor A bit of a slog of a cycle to the top but worth it for the views on a clear winters day such as this.

Knolls on moorland east of hill road The moorland is part of Meall Mòr lying to the east of the hill's summit area. The view is from a hill road reaching that hill top and the aerial installation there.

Collapsed rocks, collapsed peat bank With a marshy gap beside the collapsed features among the knolls of the highest area of Meall Beag. In the distance, several turbines of the wind farm at Cruach a' Phubuill are in view.

Masts on Meall Mòr The installation is apparently known as the South Knapdale Transmitter. There are three masts on the site but two of them appear to be decomissioned. The third, the taller of the two in the image, fairly bristles with transmitting and receiving equipment. The view is from the high point of the hill.

Hill walk to Stob Odhar The logical route (and the route I took) to get across to the hill is to the right and joining the ridge at its lowest point. I don't know quite why this sign points off towards the route with the greatest descent and steepest ascent.
