As recent posts from good parking on good path.rhalstead18/09/2022
From good parking and track at NO 992619. From CP, over gate and ahead on gravel track. When this veers left, straight ahead (past elderberry bush) into green grassy swathe. The path gradually improves and becomes more distinct. Once on moor, it is very good. Evidence of old atv in parts. Lovely walk.carole engel23/07/2022

2/2 Blath Bhalg West Top and Blath Bhalg from Dalnacarn, on a very moist day, but we dodged the worst of the weather and actually quite a pleasant short hill walk.nickywood105/07/2021
Sunny, blue skies and warmer than forecast. A good ATV track for most of the way then a trod track with a fence for a handrail (if visibility poor, but it wasn't). Good all round views if a little hazy.langskill23/04/2021
As per kdbennett. Plenty of space to park on the East side of the road. Nice views over to Ben Vrackie and Beinn a'Ghlo.Nicky C02/01/2021

From good parking at 991620. Wet track early on but ok as height gained.Cloud cleared luckily. Just over 2 hour return. Solo.bolton02/11/2019
From car park at NN 992620 and then up intermittent track to summit. Chilly but pleasant views over Pertshire countryside.MichaelF28/09/2019
An easy walk from the parking area across the road from the phone mast; the mapped mast E of the road does not exist. Old, dry ATV track until almost to the fence, then a narrow path along the fence over 2 bumps to the summit bump. Good bilberries. Blowing a gale but the rain missed me.Gill19/08/2019
Blath Bhalg, from transmitter at high point of road to west. Decent path all the way.davidpettit8421/07/2019

After bike out with tent from head of Glen Fearnach started out on track near mast but then cut up a nice grassy rake to west of West top, then over this to main top and a more direct line back down. A pretty miserable day for weather.dickscroop18/05/2019

Dry, calm warm and sunny, good views. Parked at mast.iangalbraith02/10/2015
Started from the A924 in a car park near an aerial mast. No path marked on map, but pleasantly surprised to find an old track which led most of the way to Dalnacarn Crag. Faint path to the summit and back the same way.islamidget20/08/2015
