From An Caisteal with Richard and Gillian Walker; all tops visited . Lovely sunny day; camping at Inveranon campground. | Denise | 31/05/2023 |
Parked in the large layby on A82 to the N. Followed the River Falloch track and picked up the path by the first gate up onto the ridge to Sron Gharbh, Twistin Hill, An Caisteal and Beinn a Chroin W, main & E Tops. Descent via path on N ridge to the W of the river to initial track. Another hot sunny day and a relaxing walk with Gillian and Denise. | richard69 | 31/05/2023 |

Family hike of Beinn a' Chroin and An Caisteal. Nice day out. One short sketchy bit of scrambling for having a child backpack coming off Beinn a' Chroin, maybe why most do the loop the other way. | Tisteln | 09/07/2022 |

NYE trip (Corran) | fellie | 28/12/2021 |
Wintery walk around the 5 munros with all of the tops that were in the way. From the car park south of Crianlarich on the A82. Stunning day with lots of snow and sunshine. 26 km in 10 hrs taking in Sron Garbh, Twistin Hill, An Caisteal, Ben Chabhair, Beinn a'Chroin west top, Beinn a'Chroin, Beinn a'Chroin East Top, Meall Dhamh. | Nicky C | 05/12/2021 |

Made sure I visited huge boulder and checked GR with GPS. On two previous occasions had only visited cairned top, which was not Munro then. Middle top was not even listed in Munro tables. | russell61 | 18/06/2021 |

An Caisteal and Beinn A'Chroin with Amy. A longer, harder day than expected, | killiedaft | 29/08/2020 |
Great route done it in reverse which i think is a better way. Ran with Brian Smith, weather good but a bit cloudy at times but in general decent views.Route was longer than said in book! | Kevthecat | 12/07/2020 |
Approached on the trail from a82 layby then through the boggy ground to the base then climbed up which was tough but straight forward followed onto An Caisteal up some tricky up and down scramble sections. | supermario | 11/07/2020 |
Beinn Chabhair and Beinn a' Chroin from Derrydaroch. Wet, Windy, Pathless and Painful. Great fun. AJ, AW. | Fred Windsor | 11/09/2019 |

A&B. Sunny. After An Caisteal. | Morning | 03/08/2019 |
From Glen Falloch up Sron Gharbh then Twistin Hill on to An Caisteal summit. After a break and amazing views it was down to Beinn a' Chroin and the tasty scramble up to the west top, then summit, then east top for a longer break and more photos. Back down Beinn a' Chroin's north ridge into Coire Earb for a boggy return to the track then car park. Two brilliant Munros with superb views of big hills all around! | Chris Mac | 06/07/2019 |
With Sarah. Fine day. | kbee | 25/06/2019 |
5/6 Sron Gharb, Twistin Hill, An Caisteal, Beinn a Chroin West Top, Beinn a Chroin and Beinn a Chroin East Top. Perfect Munro bagging day on the way home from Harris. Nice to walk on a path, if a bit squidgy in the valley home. Proud of the scrambling to get here. | nickywood1 | 22/06/2019 |

From lay-by on A82, southwest of Crianlarich (NN 36852 23841). Under railway, followed surfaced track to 2nd gate then ascended Sron Gharbh; clear grassy path, occasionally boggy. Along the ridge past Twistin Hill to ascend An Caisteal. Steep descent to Bealach Buidhe followed by a steep ascent to the west top of Beinn a' Chroin involving a couple of awkward scrambles. Onwards to the Munro summit and east top before a straightforward descent down the north ridge to then follow the course of the River Falloch. Very boggy in parts before reaching the surfaced track. | david230201 | 03/05/2019 |

An Caisteal - Beinn a'Chroin - Beinn Tulaichean - Cruach Ardrain. Some views and mostly dry. A tough walk - particularly the down and up between Beinn a'Chroin and Beinn Tulaichean. | wozzat | 22/06/2017 |
