From CP at NN 617047. Track to Ben Gullipen. Good path continues from here to top | carole engel | 17/06/2023 |
From Gullipen, returned contouring via the col but boggy and probably not much quicker. | Nick Canute | 17/04/2023 |
Climbed in round trip via ridge from Nether Glenny Farm as we were staying in one of the SC cottages there | SpudGunn | 09/03/2023 |
Parked at the layby opposite the track entrance. Straight up the track to the transmitter, passing by docile cows. Reasonable path to the summit through the heather. Lovely views all around on a bright, breezy, mild lunchtime after morning rain. Returned picking up a faint path on the SE side of Ben Gullipen returning to the track at the zigzag. With PJ and AM. 1000th Marilyn. | Owen B | 15/02/2023 |

From Callander via tracks to Ben Gullipen then obvious but boggy path. Descended via Lochan Balloch and path beside outflow burn to reach Rob Roy Way back to Callander. | davidpettit84 | 31/12/2021 |

Using #gill’s v clear description, up and past the mast, where most folks will end their walk. 
Beyond that , v v boggy and muddy 
Knee high rushes…. | VerySlowPlodder | 01/11/2021 |
Easy walk up the track to Ben Gullipen from good car park opposite start of track. A clear path continues along the fence towards Beinn Dearg, then goes either over or round the 371m bump and continues up the valley parallel with the Beinn Dearg ridge; just keep going and you'll see an easy grassy path up onto the ridge continuing on to the top. Great views. The path is so easy, I just went back the same way over Ben Gullipen. Don't expect dry feet though, although good, it's pretty soggy. | Gill | 24/10/2021 |

A short walk to take in this Marilyn after an earlier walk in woods near Loch Ard with the Stravaigers group. | langskill | 14/06/2021 |
Parked on the A81 north of Loch Rusky, followed the track up to the transmitters on top of Ben Gullipen, then headed west through the boggy dip and up to Beinn Dearg. I retuned to the track after passing between Ben Gullipen and Letter Hill. Sunny evening (started at 16:15), back to the car at 18:45. | chillyman8 | 09/04/2021 |

From Ben Gullipen. Rough descent to bealach then wet (but mostly frozen) quad bike track most of the way up. Returned using pass between Ben Gullipen and Letter Hill to phone mast track - would have been very wet if not partly frozen. | TRG318 | 24/12/2020 |
Beautiful frosty morning, views to Highland line plastered in snow | Colin Crawford | 06/12/2020 |

Parked near start of a track at NN616047. Reasonable parking. 40 mins to Ben Gullipen then 30 mins more to marilyn summit. We felt we did this at a reasonably quick pace. Only 5-10 mins less on descent. | willyross | 22/01/2020 |

From Callander, over bridge to signposted forest track at 627074. Signposted path leads all the way to Ben Gullipen. Quick easy forest track walking. Then followed path along the ridge down to a col, best to stay left on ATV track from the col around the LHS of Ben Dearg until the ATV track meets a path going up hill to the summit(taking off too early as we did is very rough heathery ground). To return returned back down the path and ATV track to the col, then lft through the gap towards the lake, walked clockwise around the loch to the outflow stream. Followed a path down the RHS of the stream for a few hundred metres until it met a path that led to the Rob Roy way and walked down the side of Loch Venachar to Kilmahog, then along the old railway line to Callander (with a refreshment stop in the Laid in in Kilmahog). 18.9km circuit | JulieB | 29/12/2019 |

From 616047 (7:55) followed track to Ben Gullipen then along ridge across col to summit. Path and faint ATV track most of the way. Fine and warm with fair views. Return by same route; finish 9:50 | dbb | 25/08/2019 |
Had to start from Balvalachlan due to unhelpfully vague road diversion signs foiling efforts to reach NN616047. At NN629059 a finger-post pointed along an unmapped track going NE, with the words Ben Gullipen 2 3/4 miles - I didn't risk it. TR from Ben Gullipen, nothing steep encountered. A tempting 'path' over the intermediate mound faded out in Ruff'n'Tuff, whereas an unseen path goes L, curling down the S flank, to join an ATV track which leads almost to the summit. Pestered by flies all the way. Yet another lead-grey sky and thus yet another monochrome (and thus uninspiring) view. Has anyone seen the sun lately? | Isbjorn | 25/06/2019 |
Solo trip. Probably the best view of Ben Ledi. Very steep off Ben Gullipen if you try going along the ridge. There is a path/ATV track in the valley just to S. | Invicta14 | 16/05/2019 |
With Malky and Jackie in loop with Monievreckie. Calm and decent views at first, raining heavily for last hour. Very warm. | Rounsfell | 02/03/2019 |
