2nd/4 tumps between Leny CP and stashed cycle at Ardchullarie. From SW, beware of a badly hinged high metal gate at about 600100. If it is possible to open it to avoid a deer fence scramble, it may not be possible to close it again. The summit is on the forested side of a rather unstable deer fence. It may be possible to reach from the SE it by slithering through a cut hole in the fence. Otherwise it is an uncomfortable fence scramble from the NE where there are tree breaks.Topographer5725/02/2024
From Meall Garbh along fence line and through low hole in fence. On to Druim Ardoch W Top.sclater05/02/2023
Circuit of Meall Garbh, Meall Biorach, Druim Ardoch (Main & W) and Meall Gobhlach from opposite The Cabin on Loch Lubnaig. Easy enough route but 5 deer fences to cross.TRG31817/03/2021
With NormanW, after Meall Garbh on way to Druim Ardoch. Several minor lumps and bumps visited using GPS. Most of trees can be avoided, or fairly easily pushed through. Would be worth taking a machete to improve access. Way out UNDER the deer fence as per Alda.Minto16/10/2020

4 tump round meall garbh, meall biorach, druim ardoch creag bheithe, druim ardoch west top, meall gobhlach, from the cabin CP. 4 possible summits visited.robertphillips11/02/2018
From my home in Callander, turning N on the track at Kilmahog opposite the Aberfoyle road junction. Over a new deer fence and steeply through bracken and felled trees to the knoll and outcrop on Meall Garbh. Along the fence line and under the deer fence (for a change) to the top of Meall Biorach. Intrigued by reports of a western summit, I investigated in the cause of science, getting thoroughly whiplashed by the conifers. The summit is fairly small, topped by a number of small outcrops and knolls and falls away in all directions. The second outcrop in a clearing is higher than the first. To the west, there are three more tops: a knolly western top, which is lower, a far western top consisting of two small outcrops in a clearing with a view to Ben Ledi, and an outcrop in a triangular clearing to the south west. I think one or other of these is likely to be the high point, but the variation in high is small enough that any one standing on either of these or the second summit will hNick Down108/02/2018
Not quite Stac Biorach! #2 of 2 from Kilmahog, after Garbh. 3 summits: outcrop just inside fence, another in first clearing, a rock-free clearing at 25k spot height. All seemed about same height to me, not 11m higher than fence. It appears alda found a 4th summit which I and maybe others didn't - unticked for revisitRHW22/10/2016
This took longer than expected. I reckon the summit is not the easy outcrop near the fence but is in a clearing further west. Trees not too bad - no crawling - but lots of ducking and backing. I was prepared for this and wore an old jacket. There is a useful small hole in the rickety rusty deer fence at NN 60239 10345, which is a good place to dump a rucksack.alda04/10/2016
Snowy walk from Meall Garbh. Summit probably the outcrop just within the forest but there's another candidate further west, only reached after some struggling through the young trees.Colin Crawford01/01/2016
