Solo round of Beinn a' Chaisteil & Beinn nam Fuaran from the parking spot off the A82 by the big Loch Lomond & Trossachs sign and set off down an icy track joining the WHW down to Auch. Decided to do the route anti-clickwise - Glen Coralon > Beinn a' Chaisteil then followed the fenceline north down to the track by some man-made waterfalls, then the long walk out. Freezing temps down low, snow above 600m but sunny blue skies made for some dramatic views. Total time: 6h 8min. | mproudfoot | 11/12/2022 |

From A82 by Auch track junction, parked on gravel verge, narrow but ok. Past Auch, track on south side of Allt Coralan, across the stream on the track then heading diagonally up the grassy slope east then north avoiding the crags. Into the clag, fence posts to the obvious top. | Owen B | 21/08/2021 |
Solo MTB along N shore of Loch Lyon. Climbed NE flank of Beinn nam Fuaran. After very steep decent to SW over Beinn a' Chaisteil and descent via coll to NE and back around S shore of Loch. | John Lee | 16/07/2021 |
I parked near the Auch road end. I walked in towards Auch Lodge, under the railway viaduct and then up Glen Coralan before heading up the steep energy sapping grass slopes to Beinn a'Chaisteil. It was very windy on the summit. After taking a few photos, including one of my parked car in the far distance I headed down to the bealach for a lunch break. I then continued to Beinn nam Fuaran. | langskill | 12/06/2021 |
