Parked at large layby 1km SE of Inchbae. North at Inchbae up the good, scenic track to Strathrannoch, then NE up the path. Over Allt a Choire-rainich then a straightforward pathless plod to the summit. | Owen B | 18/06/2023 |
Final summit in second set of Grahams | alda | 10/06/2023 |
Parked at the bridge, gate locked again half way to Strathrannoch. Stalkers track difficult to find at first, stay close to river on the slightly higher ground - not the sodden ATV track veering off to the left. Crossed river at the tributary as others. | iangalbraith | 18/04/2023 |
From parking on A835 W of Inchbae bridge (NH398695), cycled/pushed north along (initially stony) track up Strath Rannoch to near cottage at Strathrannoch and on to gate in deer fence (NH387746), then on foottrack NE following Allt a' Choire-rainich to the fords, crossed, then E up slopes, past obvious huge boulder on to ridge and N to summit, returning same way, with welcome cycle/freewheeel on the track (4h [2h40m from Strathrannoch]) | kdbennett | 13/02/2023 |

Cycled in 8 miles from Eileanach Lodge to the bridge just before the waterfall. Climbed Beinn nan Eun first and then over Clach Sgoilte and up north ridge of Carn Loch nan Amhaichean. | Jossker | 25/06/2022 |
Parked at the parking area to the west of the bridge just past Inchbae Lodge. Up Strath Rannoch track all the way to Strathrannoch. Took stalkers track heading off up the LHS of the stream until just past the top of the gorge. Just past the junction where the stream comes in from the SE ~395753 down a grassy bit there are some rocks and a large boulder on the other side of the stream that enable an easy crossing. Headed up onto the ridge (a bit soggy in parts) and towards a big boulder then easy along the ridge. Back the same way (did Beinn nan Eun yesterday by biking down Loch Glass), pleased I didn't combine the 2 as made 2 nice separate sensible outings. 11.3 miles 4.5hrs walking time. | JulieB | 17/06/2022 |
From Beinn nan Eun keeping to high ground in a broadly westerly direction south of the lochan. Down SW ridge to farm and cycled out. 10 miles on foot (tough going!); 7 on bike. | MichaelF | 20/05/2022 |
Route visiting peaks around Loch Glass, parking towards end of public road. Meall an Tuirc (496m) from near top of track to W (difficult crossing fallen trees), descent much easier to NW, then Bendeallt, Cnoc Gille Mo Bhrianaig, Meall an Tuirc (625m), Meall Mor, Meall Beag, Creachan nan Sgadan, Beinn nan Eun, Clach Sgoilte, camped below Carn Loch nan Amhaichean and continued to summit in the morning. Carn nan Con Ruadha, Gob a' Chairn then descent ENE to join path along Abhainn Beinn nan Eun and W end of Loch Glass. Returned along S side of loch. Clouds mainly above these tops. | RobertP | 04/05/2022 |
Carn Loch nan Amhaichean (G), Beinn nan Eun (G) & Meall Mor(G), Bike 8km, Hike 28km, NBike 8km from Glen Glass | Huwel | 08/11/2021 |
Walked up the Strath Rannoch track, just room to park on the grass at the end. Past the farm and up the stalker's path, pretty good going until it descends to the river, where it's a bit wet in rain. River slightly full but still easy to cross. Sh1te ground from the river to the ridge but wonderful easy going once you're up high. Good views despite heavy rain. Any desire to continue around the Simms was washed away. Also very glad I've already got Beinn nan Eun in the bag by a much better route. | Gill | 19/05/2021 |

Cycled from A835 to Strathrannoch, then walked up East ridge. Easy! Best weather of the week, 360 views. Afterwards, to Beinn an Eun, not so easy crossing to it. | IanHHill | 19/08/2018 |
Circuit from Inchbea Lodge with Beinn nan Eun, new hydro road at Loch Bealach Culaidh. | BLACKHILL | 27/06/2018 |
Biked to Strathrannoch. Up through new forestry. Most impressive pedestrian gates at both lower and upper deer fence. On to Beinn nan Eun. | Campbell Singer | 18/05/2017 |
Started at the Ullapool Rd walk up Strath Rannoch to just short of the croft then headed up to summit.very cold wind on the summit, but apart from that a good sunny winter day in February | Nozzer | 12/02/2017 |
Loved the area, though annoyingly rough ground at times. | jenx | 19/07/2016 |
Parked at Eileinach Lodge and cycled the full length of the loch to Wyvis Lodge. Past that and good cycling up the glen to next to the old waterfalls, now sadly ruined by an intrusive hydro scheme. Another branch has tirned the once fine stalkers paths into 4x4 superhighways. Steeply up onto BnE then rough ground in places in traverse to Carn Loch nan Amhaichean. Returned to valley and used the remains of the stalkers until industrial Scotland was rejoined. | nordicstar | 19/07/2016 |
