From the very large free overflow parking area south of Rowardennan. Followed forest road to join Ben Lomond footpath, then up to gate in deer fence. Open boggy moorland to summit. With Gavin.Dangerous Dave27/07/2023
Up the Ben Lomond tourist path to 376999, then along the non-existent path to the Main Eich. Thereafter up the broad NW flanks to the summit - a bit boggy and tussocky - but I've been on worse! Descent almost straight west via traces of ATV tracks to a track, taking us back round north of the forest perimeter to the Lomond ascent path again at 371991. (A good descent route, but would be a soft and soggy ascent)? Great views and nice surroundings!!clanbonham26/03/2023
Beinn Uird circuit from Rowardennen. 1 of 3thekirkie pirate02/12/2022
Parked at the Drymen Rd Cottage CP and cycled to the end of a forestry track NE of The Vine. A wee gap running along the northern side of Allt Clachanlaoigh made access to the heathery higher reaches and the summit surprisingly easy. Then simply a matter of following fence lines and deer tracks to tick off Stop a' Choin Dubh, Beinn Bhreac, Binnean nan Gobhar and its NE little sister. Decided to march on to Beinn Uird, something of a relentless heather trudge, but not as wearing as the return to my bike, which required following the deer fence along the forest edge in a general eastwards direction. Getting rather fed up with this I decided to try and short cut through the forest itself ... big mistake! I write this with the physical and mental scars of trying to penetrate its increasingly dense branches.summitter27/04/2022
From Cashel Farm up the main track and onto Tom Soilleir and Creag Thulaichean first. Deep heather for much of the way. Descended to SW and through some pretty hellish new broadleaf forest growing over a felled plantation. Went up Dun Maoil and got on a good waymarked track down to the Sallochy CP.sclater02/01/2022
From Cashel farm, following forest track and then ATV almost all way to summit of Binnean nan Gobhar. Then traverse (not too bad really) to summit of Beinn Uird. Descended to edge of Rowardennan Forest, picking up a forest track running S. Took path running SW from approx NS 396 956 down to the road. While the path just about exists on the ground there are a lot of brambles so not recommended. Snow on the tops, good views to Loch Lomond and surrounding mountainsRobertP08/12/2021
The easy way to Binnean nan Gobhar from Cashel Farm: follow the green route to the high point then take the alternative forest track N past a pointless gate then up to exit the forest at an empty gateway onto an ATV track which takes you to within a few yards of the top. Although extremely wet, it's very easy. The route on to Beinn Uird is really horrible, lanky heather, tussocks, bog. Slight relief by following fence posts down then a fence; aqueeze between the two layers of wire onto open hill. Grassy stream also gives better going up. Once past the upper FC fence, terrain is much better. Descent SW to Creag Mor also easy if boggy. Enter forest at very old gate where high deer fence becomes low fence, cross stream, follow brambly firebreak to logging road, down this, then WHW to start. Might be more pleasant doing Beinn Uird separately.Gill11/05/2021
From Balmaha via WHW to Cashel, up forest track (green) then across moorland to Beinn Bhreac and Binnean nan Gobhar, over rough moorland to Beinn Uird, then back via Blairvockie and WHW to Balmaha.PaulineD23/04/2021
From Beinn Bhan, going round the trees, then on to the more interesting Binnean nan Gobhar.Alan Moore23/04/2019
This is a hill that I had avoided for some time because of its boggy reputation. In the event it was a mainly grassy plod after leaving the Ben Lomond path when it left the forest. Clear but hazy conditions.JohnW12/04/2019
With Binnean nan Gobhar from Cashel Farm, new deer fences to cross, with Ellie dog.BLACKHILL08/04/2019
After Ben Lomond, over Moin Eich, Elrig. Heather (actually tussock grass) nothing like as bad as others' reports - only mildly irksome on my personal toughness scale of irksome, purgatorial and excrutiating. Better done on a good viz day when can look well ahead and plot a long range route linking up burnt areas, re-entrants etc.Isbjorn23/03/2019
5of5: From Binnean nan Gobhar.ChrisR28/02/2019
Second visit, from Cashel via Binnein nan Gobhar. Every bit as tough as I rememberedColin Crawford14/12/2018
Caught the ferry from Tarbet to Rowardennan then Ptarmigan - Ben Lomond - Beinn Uird. Left the Ben Lomond path near the Halfway Well and fought my way across the Moin Eich. It wasn't the bog that was the problem - it was the heather! Going very tough over Elrig, then improved slightly. Nothing on the top. Why do we do this?! On descent found it easier to descend directly W to the track, then follow it N to the sheepfold from where I could rejoin the tourist path.Mark Jackson21/08/2017
Started on Ben Lomond track in pouring rain over a bog. Not a good way to go.grumpy29/07/2017
Ascended from forestry centre at Cashel Farm, along green waymarks to 414948. Then used the faint track marked on the Harvey's map to the south end of the ruined fence at 426954 - boggy, but much better than the surrounding land. Over Stob a Choin Dubh to Binnein nan Gobhar. Descended almost to forestry en route to Beinn Uird to avoid the worst of the peat hags. Descended WNW to pick up tourist Ben Lomond path.Clive G27/03/2016
Round lump...good views north, glad of the frozen turf rather than bog trot from Binnean nam GobharN.Morters27/02/2016
Park before Rowardennan in forest gateway, 362979. Great track to forest fence, plod up thereafter. Snow on ground, sunny and cold. Good views.iangalbraith14/02/2016
Up the woodland track from Cashell, then across seemingly miles of tussocks and bog. Beiinn Breac trig, Binnean nan Gobhar, Ben Uird. Misty and damp all day. Did not find a single useful track. I imagine the views must be good.jenx16/12/2015
With Jenx from Cashell farm. Used track to 320m then up warercourses to Beinn Breac trig. Gobhar summit cairn then a hard slog over very wet, tussocky/heather ground to Ben Uird and back to same track in mist and rain to start point. Not a route for the connoisseur.nordicstar16/12/2015
MC JC O. Cut across to peak from the Ben Lomond path.Martin6627/09/2015
From the Ben Lomond path over rough ground. Got caught by 3 wet potholes! Almost stood on an adder.hillsman30/07/2015
With Mrs G. From car park N of Rowardennan Hotel on clear Ben Lomond path to deer fence, then over rough ground to sheepfold. Good farm track for 800m then struck out directly for summit.jonglew23/05/2015
beinn bhreac, binnean nan gobhar, beinn uird, from cashel farm.robertphillips28/12/2014
On the way back from Ben Lomond and Chris Watson's Munro Completion. Used track N & W around forest to return to Ben Lomond path.Minto19/10/2014
With Bhreac from Blairvockie. Hard pathless slog over rough boggy ground with plenty of tussocks. One for the masochists! Perhaps Cashel preferable with the track up through the trees.AndrewFinnimore02/10/2014

Top with Jim B.Dugswell204/06/2012
Misty ascent with Holly, Jenny and Abby. Walked part way up tourist path to Ben Lomond then cut across fences and tussocky moor to flat top.alexmaclennan20/02/2012
From Cashel car park via Binnein nan Gobhar. Snow above 300 metres, snow and freezing conditions kept me out of most of the bogs. Return via west face and (in twilight) public road.Topographer5716/12/2011
Walked from Blairuskinmore to Comer, then up to Ben Lomond, down tourist path and up Beinn Uird, down to Moin Rich and back through forestGallovidian26/09/2010

over heath and marsh from Binnean nan Gobhar. New fence work being installed on the 2 hills. Look for wooden bridge crossing one of the ditches in col.Buteobuteo12/07/2008
Up Ben Lomond track to col with Fiona. Thick mist.agentmancuso04/02/2007
Parked on road side near Rowardennan. Through farm to track above forest. At 700' made bee line up on gentle slope with many false horizons. Over wire fence, rough sheep pasture moor not very wet. Grass patches all the way to top at 11.15. Watershed hill. Lomond dominates the view.arranc14/05/2005
