Walked in from Pier café car park to end of loch. Through gate, alongside deer fence and then steeply up right- and then left-hand side of stream, through cleft and on to summit. Visited other 'tops' around the summit just in case! | MichaelF | 21/05/2018 |

From Stronachlachar ferry car park. Construction site at west end of Loch Katrine so had to go further half hour along private road. Steep going up towards An Garadh contoured Stob an Duibhe to summit. Headed back towards burn coming down from Stob an Duibhe & followed fence beside burn. No fences to climb if you keep burn side of fence. 7 hours 15 | rogreeves | 19/04/2017 |

A round of the Graham and 3 Graham tops from head of Loch Katrine after biking in from StronachLachar. A steep rough climb through a lot of leggy bracken and more of same on final decent. In summit cloud spent some time confirming I had located first top correctly. Later in day when cloud cleared it was pretty obvious. Had planned on crossing over to the Corbett to east but in rough going time ran out. | dickscroop | 02/09/2016 |

A fun duathlon challenge: 
- buy a 4 hour car park ticket to save a couple of quid on the all day price 
- cycle 8.5 miles along the edge of Loch Katrine (not as flat as you'd think!) 
- walk/jog round the circuit of An Garadh (HuMP), Stob an Duibhe (P80) and Meall Mor (Marilyn) - a rough tussocky 5.8 miles with 900+ m of ascent 
- cycle back
