Club outing to Beinn Ruadh via Puck's Glen. Fine multi topped hill.	lordtonult	31/03/2024
Up the forest track from Gairletter. Stronchullin Hill and Meall Dubh then back.	Tisteln	21/11/2023
Second visit after a round of Beinn Ruadh and Stronchullin Hill. I counted five distinct tops along the ridge though the stated one does look to be the highest. Descent to Inverchapel was of the interesting type	Colin Crawford	07/04/2023
After exploring Puck's Glen i continued to the end where a notice says 'Acess to open fell'. I continued to climb on western side of Puck's glen before ctossing over easily then started to climb encountering the vatious knolls en-route. In fact i even went back as i thought i missed one. Time was running out so opted for Blairmore hill following fenceline then grassy track..	Dazingdale	27/05/2022
Came over from Stronchullin Hill. A nice little multi-topped ridge. Solo. Descended south to pylons then followed stream downhill to meet track then forest road.	Dangerous Dave	08/04/2022
A tump round from strone, blairbeg hill, blairmore hill, meall dubh, stronchullin hill.	robertphillips	08/07/2020
3-hill tree-free circuit from forest road, drove in to NS 1639 8583, forest roads good but stony, mind the ground clearance. This Tump has several summits, all visited, one could even be higher. Too cold and windy to think of hand levelling!	RHW	13/04/2019
Started at Inverchapel. Lost the path near pilons but found again. Very cloudy and navigated using gps; no visibility from top but nice views on the descent. 5.2 miles 1147 ft elevation.	nell1583	19/01/2019
Done after Blairbeg and Blairmore, tussocks aplenty. Plans to continue to Stronchullin were scotched by the arrival of heavy rain so I made my escape down Puck's Glen	Colin Crawford	12/09/2017
Strone-Blairbeg Hill-Blairmore Hill-Meall Dubh-Stronchullin Hill-Beinn Ruadh-Sligrachan Hill-Ardentinny. Dipped below mist and was able to see our abode from the summit.	campagvelocet	07/09/2016
