As per Carole Engel. onto Sron Mallanach. | colazione | 15/02/2024 |
Good parking at NN 274001. Mapped track to initially very indistinct trod (may have been a track at one time but little evidence now except for logs over ditch at track edge) at NS 2658 9832 (great find and description by descarte1 on TUK). Also marked by extensive bramble engulfing conifer - very unusual. Push thru trees onto trod and follow up - becomes easier and eventually leads to a wide break leading to trig. Could not have found this without descarte1's log - the detail was impressive - many thanks | carole engel | 30/07/2023 |
From parking near MOD entrance Glen Douglas. Followed the Three Lochs Way before stoking up through the trees to the trig. Return same way. | N.Morters | 20/05/2023 |
Faint track from Sron Mallanach through woods or preferably by open ground to west. Without electronic gadgets finding the trig took longer than expected. Steeply down to TLW. | lordtonult | 25/03/2023 |
On way back from Sron Mallanach. Possible to follow the western edge of the forest just below W side of ridge - then enter the forest heading SE for about 100m. Back out of forest and continue N. | 49pp | 25/01/2023 |
Parked in the little pull off on tulloch road and made way up through paths not marked on os. Pretty boggy in places after last nights rain and quite tough going considering it was only 5 miles there and back. Felt like more. Onto sron mallanach | The-Z-Man | 13/04/2022 |

As Liz H. On to Sron Mallanach. With Rick and dogs. | jenx | 17/02/2022 |
Parked on the Glen Douglas road just west of the rail bridge. MOD signs looked a bit off putting, but followed the track marked for the 'three lochs way', to NS26603 98309, where a deer path runs up the S side of a watery gully. The path reaches a clearing beyond the trig point, and curves back NE over boggy ground towards the trig. A final section of deer path through trees led to a higher rocky area and trig point. (guidance by 'descarte1' on 'Trigpointing UK' helped find the route) | LizH | 21/04/2021 |
From Sron Mallanach, all the way over the ridge via trig pt and knoll NE, then down to car on Glen Douglas road by rly bridge. There's a trodden path in places, mostly along boggy clear strips on or near the ridge. Bits of survival/orienteering rubbish reassured us that people had been this way and there were even the remains of 2 rifles! A compass bearing was a huge help, especially at the NE end where any semblance of a path disappeared in mud and windblow. More like an orienteering exercise than a hillwalk, engrossing to start but we had had enough the last mile. With brother Pete, who sensed the location of the trig point first. | pwheeler | 16/03/2020 |
Up the ridge to Craggan Hill from car parking area at Glen Douglas. Forest being clear-felled so it's a bit of a mess. There's a track along the ridge requiring frequent ducking below branches. Took a while to locate trig but that does seem to be on the summit. Carried on to Sron Mallanach along ridge from where I descended easily eastwards to the forestry track for the walk back. | sclater | 05/01/2020 |
sron mallanach and craggan hill, good track from the north. | robertphillips | 08/07/2019 |
2nd hill of 7 today on a tough route from Garelochhead station to Inverbeg with my 70 litre rucksack, climbing Sron Mallanach then descending NE then E and then North before finding an old track and using that to descend to the Three Lochs way path for no more than 200m before ascending near a lovely waterfall, then through trees to the open hillside, detouring around a ridge of re-planted conifers to find a clearer route to the Trig, i recorded this as 293m but in a small clearing of conifers about 100m NE of the trig I recorded 294m at Grid ref NS26385 98289. Descent ENE back onto Three Lochs Way to minor road where I turned East, heading for Tullich Hill. | Dazingdale | 02/10/2017 |
Just about managed to get this one before it got totally dark, though for a short while I had my doubts. Onwards to Helensburgh for the train home at 6 AM. Very wet throughout. | Alex C | 18/08/2017 |
Ran the gauntlet of several armed patrols of soldiers on the way up. | Martin R | 11/05/2016 |
Plod along the track, following the pylons from N where there is ample parking, then head up an obvious track which curves round to just below the trig. Good views of Cobbler on way back. | Thearlaichdubh | 22/12/2015 |
parked at NN274001 track to due east of summit then up through young spruce to the top. | robertphillips | 18/08/2015 |
Followed track from Tarbet below Ben Reoch and Tullich Hill before entering MOD zone. Was approached by construction worker at NN274001 who tried to warn me off while I was reading the sign which suggested access was OK. | campagvelocet | 21/01/2009 |
