From Benmore Botanic garden cp, cycled up to track junction just after Bernice, then W up Bernice Glen to c. NS 119920 and thence to trig, including many subsidiary lumps just in case! Remnants of snow above 600m and frozen ground which made walking easier.Bitterly cold but excellent views all round. Descent by same route to col, then on to Beinn Bheag. Retraced route to col, down glen and cycle oot. Cracking day; 6hrs walking + 2 on bike. | MichaelF | 27/03/2023 |
With Anne B from 119867. Luckily the farmer picked us up and drove up the zigzags into the forest. Plenty of snow after the recent fall. The rocky Tor to the NE of the trig looks higher and was thus reading 3 metre+ on the GPS. 5.5 hours. | bolton | 15/03/2023 |

Circular run over Capul Cloiche and Beinn Mhor. | quadbarrel | 28/08/2022 |
From Benmore Botanic Garden, cycled along W side of Loch Eck as far as a junction just N of Bernice (NS134918), then W along forest road to NS123918, then followed Bernice Burn up to the col (initially N of Burn, then S side, all intermittent and indistinct tracks), then S, turning SW, up steep slopes, mostly at edge of E-facing crags, to summit of Beinn Mhór, descended back to col, and N upwards, zigzagging through crags to the line of an old fence (mostly now gone), heading NE W of Meall Breac S Top, E of Meall Breac and W of 601m spot height to summit of Beinn Bheag, descending to col the same way, thence back to Bernice and the start (6h50m [5h40m from near Bernice]) | kdbennett | 11/07/2022 |

Lovely walk up the forest track from Glen Massan Farm. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 30/03/2022 |
From Glen Massan via the forest track, continuing over Capull Cloiche and picking my way down tussocky slopes, through a forest break and felling to the singletrack a few hundred yards SE of Glenmassan Farm. Surprised three roe deer on a grassy terrace on the descent. | Nick Down1 | 26/03/2022 |

Great walk up through Benmore Gardens to A' Chruach and all tops along the ridge to Beinn Mhor including nipping out to Clach Bheinn. Descent to Glen Masson via the excellent forestry track. | sclater | 27/01/2022 |
Circuit of Beinn Mhor and tops from Glen Massan road end | thekirkie pirate | 21/10/2021 |
First P600 since Ben More (Assynt) last May when I injured my right Achilles and left knee. Drove as far as possible on public road down Glen Masson.. Road beyond this point is driveable but clear signs stating no unauthorised vehicles. Nice steady 1.5 mile walk along track to Glen Masson Farm, immediately after which take a right turn up forest track, gently ascending 400m to the tree line, where on a clear day you can see the summit to your right. Easy grassy path to follow to the ridge before turning right and following path towards the summit. Weather was closing in behind me but managed to reach the summit just before it started to rain. Returned by the same route and by the time I reached the path (marked by a post and a tree set away from the forest boundary) at the tree line the summit was obscured by cloud. Straight forward descent through the forest and very tired legs trudging back to the van along the track from Glen Masson Farm. | mntainman | 20/08/2021 |

Third visit to this Graham after a difficult trudge north on the ridge. Down to a fine camping spot on Bealach Bernice | Colin Crawford | 21/04/2021 |
Bike from Glen Branter on good forest tracks up to about 300m near the Bernice Glen col, then easily up fine NE ridge to summit. | alda | 19/04/2021 |
Parking spot on Glen Massan road at NS139840, walking by River Eachaig, then road / track along Loch Eck to Bernice. Forestry track up Bernice Glen then rough ground to the beallach and steep climb to summit of Meall Breac S Top (several humps) and traverse to summit of Beinn Bheag. N to boggy beallach and climb to summit of Cruach Bhuidhe. Return along ridge, contouring below the tops to Beallach Bernice and then long steady ascent to Beinn Mhor visiting tops to NE only slightly lower. Continued S on ridge, climbing Capull Cloiche, then cross to climb steeply to Clach Bheinn visiting the twin tops and a third top. Continued on to Creachan Mor, Creachan Beag, Creachan Beag SE top, and finally A'Cruach. Descended SE to find grassy track leading to forestry track down to Loch Eck road. | RobertP | 30/08/2020 |
