From Inverlochlarig, straight up Stob Coire an Lochain, Stob Binnein, Ben More, back over to Stob Coire an Lochain, peaks in the mist. On bearing E, but soon below cloud to lovely day. Over very craggy ground with path becoming more intermittent & faint as we headed over Creag a Bhragit, Meall na Dige, Stob Bealach na Frithe to Stob Creagach. Steep in places & awkward Crags. Return SW below na Frithe & contoured Meall na Dige to reach SE ridge. Narrow path to Meall Monachyle but petered out on descent. SW down long grass, climbed deer fence into thigh deep grass through new forestry, with deep holes. Awful but short. Reached wall running E to W. Crossed it & turned W on rough track that ran to fence & turned S vaguely to gate near cattle grid at 460192. Great walk, but final descent needs some work! 21km, 1800m ascent, 8 5 hrs, 7 moving.Lynnebe02/08/2023

Repeat. Space for a couple of cars at start of Monachyle Glen forest track. Straight up from forest edge then on to 5720 Stob Bealach na Frithe.mae227/04/2021
A long pull up from the Monachyle Mhor, 2h of misery to the top with 1h20 tricky descent. No tracks whatsoever from this side. Epic view on a clear, still, beautiful day. Unfit! Joe and RomiJoe-y-Fer08/11/2019
Circular walk from Ardcarnaig, Balquhidder with Mike C in fine, cold conditions.barnz4805/05/2019
Clockwise circuit of Stob Binnein and its tops from Inverlochlarig. Very tricky bealach to get over from Meall na Dige. Several craggy intermediate tops that require careful negotiation. Almost completely trackless.andy26/06/2010
Now clear, sun and clouds.iangalbraith27/09/1997
First top on the way up Ben More (qv log for full route) from Inverlochlarig- one of those great days out on the mountains. Cloud just off the big summits most of the time.pwheeler05/05/1988
