10 hills today, should have been 11, but I didn't cross the deer fence. From Ben Lawers car park (£3). Meall nan Tarmachan S Top, Meall nan Tarmachan, Meall Garbh, Beinn nan Eachan E Top, Beinn nan Eachan, Creag na Caillich, all on Munro motorway. Then went NW on faint animal track to Meall Ton Eich, and back to .796 Creag na Caillich W Top, no real path but grassy hillside, no heather so easy going. Straight down to Beallach & up Meall Dhuin Croisg E Top & Meall Dhuin Croisg. Back to Beallach trying to avoid Crags. SE then to pick up path to Dam. Made the effort to climb Meall Liath on walk out but failed to cross deer fence so missed it by about 20m. There was a ladder stile too. 21km, 1100m climb 10/11 hills un sunshine with friends. Not too bad. | Lynnebe | 19/07/2023 |

From Creag na Cailich down to col, then easy ascent. Descended SW to a tall cairn at NN5438 3800, then continued on to meet the path from the sheilings, followed this by a wall, then dropped too low and continued down to a gate at approx NN537 362. Continued S across pasture to a gate by the road at NN5363 3574, and along to the car by the private road junction. | LizH | 15/04/2023 |

From the South via Meall Dhuin Croisg and its East Top. It seemed a long way back to the car. | NormanW | 15/07/2022 |

A clockwise round of 5 Simms. Drove up the hydro road to the forested compound, where there’s parking for many cars. From Beinn nan Oighreag, then down SE towards the shielings, across the Allt Dhuinn Croisg, and up the N ridge of Meall Ton Eich. Onwards to Meall Dhuin Croisg. | Minto | 25/07/2021 |
#4 of 4 from SSW, paved road to surge chamber (Could have driven to 300m), grassy terrain. Long descending traverse to regain hydro road. | RHW | 26/06/2021 |
Parked to S, partway up the hydro road. Circuit of Meall Dhuin Croisg (ascended track, then ATV track left of enclosure, then up short grass) and Meall Ton Eich (returned on path from shielings). | PGCE | 02/06/2021 |

Hot day, great walk. Drove up the Glen Lochay hydro road as far as possible then followed the old drovers road across meadow, railroad sleepers and steel girders to the ghost village of Shielings, then an easy steady ascent along the southern ridge of Beinn nan Oighreag. Took a direct easterly descent to, the probably boggy most of the year, Lairig Bhreislich, which was straightforward in super dry conditions, to enable an assault on the northern ridge of Meall Ton Eich. From there it was onwards to Creag na Caillich, giving a spectacular view of the Tarmachan ridge. But, we headed home via the less dramatic but equally undulating Creag na Caillich west and the two Meall Dhuin Croisg tops. A westwards descent got us back to the drovers track and the eventual mid-summer delights of an ice-cold diet coke and choc-ice in Killin. | summitter | 30/05/2020 |
Drove up tarmac track to end S of first summit: Meall Dhuin Croisg; Meall Ton Eich; Beinn nan Oighreag; Creag an Talabhein; Cam Creag. Return stalkers path looks good on map but barely exists on ground which resulted in a lot of deep heather and bracken when I lost the line. | dickscroop | 20/08/2018 |

Backpacking w CMH. After camping high in Lairig Luaidhe, around NN535407, did Oighreag then on to Tarmachans. Dry and windy, with some slightly hazy sunshine breaking through the white clouds, some lovely autumnal views. | NorfolkPT21 | 25/10/2007 |
