Up the Ben Lomond path from the car park, turning off at a wooden post at around the 400m contour, though the path shown on the map is rather vague. Crossed to the forest, then along the fence line to a gate at NN38818 01584, and up over grass and heather. Good views.LizH28/04/2021
From south end of Loch Chon via forest tracks to Stronmacnair and bridge. Followed old path west through trees from NN 4067 0237 up to open ground and over some rough heather to reach broad NE ridge of Beinn Bhan. Trees no problem but plenty of tussocks.alda02/04/2021
Descended from Breac Leac. Good views towards Stirling and the Forth catchment area.richtea504006/12/2019
From the WNW. Also did the contour ring to the south to make sure I'd done the hill. Down to the west to avoid the trees before going up Beinn Uird.Alan Moore23/04/2019
