From Black Bridge (A835) with John. On MTB up the track through Strath Vaich and to a high point (around 360m) on the track on the east side of graham Meall a' Chaorainn. Dumped the bikes and continued on foot down into Gleann Beag, crossed the bridge and ascended up the zig zag stalkers path - generally heading NW. At about 700m, the stalkers path disappeared so we continued N then E up onto the broad ridge and then continued over peak 838m onto the main summit at 845m. Descended same route and back to bikes to cycle back out to black bridge. 30mins of rain at the start, but soon settled into a dry but cool and cloudy day. Total times: 1h 33m cycle in; 4h 20m walking (including lunch on summit); 1h 12m cycle out.mproudfoot30/09/2023
Solo in Low cloud. Cycled all the way up Gleann Beag from Black Bridge, took a track to side of river, and then used faint tracks and GPS to find the Cairnalexmaclennan24/09/2023
Cycled in to dam from Black Bridge then up stalkers track which is being reclaimed by nature in places. Back out via Meall a Chaorainn.daviemore07/07/2023

From Blackwater car park. With Heather, Rhona, Heather's brother and son Neil. By bike to 354 842. Up a good zig zag stalkers path to plateau then South Top and easy walking on to Carn Ban. Back via the two south tops and descend to Loch Sruban More. Another excellent stalkers path down and then return on estate track to bikes. Use OS 1:25,000 as these paths are shown clearly. 29.5 miles total including cycling.DampandDusty28/05/2022

DR. Glen Calvie Lodge to Gleann Beag by MTB. Stalkers path to Loch Sruban Mors & then contoured hillside to Carn Ban returning over two south tops. Fine, warm & sunny spells.Vin14/09/2021
Third day of a multi day bivi round. Started from bivi just above top of Cadha Dearg, on to Creag an Duine which took me rather by surprise, a good scramble up and a harder scramble down the same side. Then back to normality with gentle walks up Creag Iobhair, out to Carn Loch Sruban Mor, back to Creggan a Chait and Carn Ban for an early bivi.dickscroop22/07/2021

Bike from Glencalvie Lodge parking, 1:45 to bridge one mile west of Deanich Lodge. Fairly good stalkers path, boggy on the level stretch at 520m, peters out above 650m. Peat hags around 760m mercifully dry today, otherwise good going. Over the south top on the way. Awesome spacious views of Assynt, Coigach, Seana Braigh, Ben Dearg, Wyvis. Returned by same route, 1:05 of which on the bike (mostly downhill, tailwind).Owen B22/06/2021
From Black bridge, longer cycle but I prefer it. Stopped at water collection dam below waterfall, 35546 84410. Super stalkers path to 500m. Up over minor tops to west, back down Allt Bheargais to stalkers path cairn and home. Return route is full of peat hags, glad it was dry.iangalbraith08/06/2021

Ban and Tharsuinn after cycling up from NE. Old path up from 355843, swampy in places, rises to 600m then series of small cairns up to main ridge avoids the worst of the rough ground and hags.Topographer5723/07/2019

Revisit. From Corriemulzie car park, Creag an Duine, then SB for the trig bolt, then acw circuit of Simms and subs. Lovely sunny breezy day.RHW19/04/2019
Walked from Black Bridge up Strathvaich and then excellent stalkers path onto the actual hill. Stunning views today - Western Isles, all the Assynt and Coigach hills, Ben Hope and Klibreck and south to Ben Rhinnes. Walked out under the light of the moon (and latterly my head torch). 11 hour walk but highly enjoyable.benalder28418/11/2018
