Up the mine zigzags from Tyndrum lower station. Back the same way, as long wet grass in a fire break didn't sound preferable! | davidpettit84 | 14/10/2022 |

After Sròn nan Colan. Rough grass on ground beginning to reacquire wetness after some recent rain. Down south-westwards towards Meall Odhar with occasional footpath along line of prominent ridge (droma, from Gaelic druim, literally spine) which some have identified with Druim Alban (“backbone of Scotland”), of major significance in the early history of Scotland. | mainnirnamfiadh | 25/07/2018 |
Grand views down Glen Lochy. | summitter | 29/06/2018 |
parked at lower tyndrum train station cp, up zig zag path, return forestry track through trees, sron nan colan, drochaid an droma, meall odhar, beinn chuirn, beinn chuirn south top. | robertphillips | 24/06/2018 |
Took a similar route to Robert, but without the two Beinn Churn tops. The cairn on Sron currently sports a small Saltire. Drochaid an Droma's high point is either the northern or southern rocky top; the flat rock in between is lower. The descent from Meall Odhar to the Cononish track is seriously hard going over unremitting tussocks. | Nick Down1 | 24/06/2018 |
