    Could you define what you mean by easy/medium in terms of mileage and ascent?

    If you want to bag a couple of Munros, probably the easiest are Stob Dubh & Stob Coire Raineach (Buachaille Etive Beag). You can park somewhere around NN185564, and it's a mostly grassy walk up to the col at NN187545 where you meet the clear ridge path. Then, just go either way to the 2 summits & retrace your steps back to the road.

    I'd call this a 'medium' walk.

    I'm seeing this on the OS right now. There is no sign of any path from the road to the col, or to the summits. But I trust you, I'm confident I'l easily convince my wife this walk is easy enough. Great !
