Continued to Ben Oss N Top & Ben Oss.duchally10/01/2024
55 - from Dalrigh. Wild camp in the pine forest lower down. Warm and claggy ascending, and very wet in places underfoot. Summit in cloud. First Munro of 4 this walk.huwthomas28/07/2023
From free ( donation requested) community woodland parking at Dalrigh. Follow old road SE, cross river bridge , take track SW over railway bridge , then leave track to follow new unmapped gravel path SW over boggy sheep pasture to new bridge over Gleann Auchbreoch. Then, follow obvious path SW, very muddy in places , which is roughly on NW side of Allt Coire Dubhchraig all the way to small corrie lake on ridge at NN304258. The path initially goes through attractive ancient woodland ( Coille Coire Chuilc) and then open hillside, with lovely waterfalls and pools. Both mapped deer fences are broken. A few cairns take you onto the ridge ( most useful in descent) then there’s an undulating path SE to the summit cairn. Thick cloud today. Onto Ben Oss and down the same way. Solo.Denise 24/05/2023

From Dalrigh. Up track to Cononish. Direct ascent of Beinn Dubhchraig, then Ben Oss, Ben Lui and out to Beinn a' Chleibh. Followed the path down to the forest, and contoured back around Ben Lui and down the valley before picking up the track back. Clear on Dubhchraig but cloud dropped onto the tops after that.

With Dean, Ed & Swot. Staying at By the Way, Tyndrum. From Dalrigh, Beinn Dubhchraig then Ben Oss. Snow level at approx.600m, much more than you'd expect in May.

Another dry but overcast forecast, equals another two Munros, Beinn Dubhchraig (978m) and Ben Oss (1029m), accessed from Dalrigh on the A84 between Crianlarich and Tyndrum, 08:20hrs all in. An early meant there was some low cloud on the way up and on the summit of Beinn Dubhchraig, but this was beginning to clear by the time I got to Ben Oss. Once this past it was an enjoyable walk down with great views down Loch Lomond and to the eastern hills above Tyndrum and Crianlarich. Horribly boggy route up through the old Caledonian forest, but as I discovered on the descent, I had missed the path completely and ascended up through the bog by mistake.chillyman808/07/2020

Generally very wet underfoot until reaching Beinn Dubhchraig ridge, mostly stony paths thereafter.david23020129/04/2019
After Ben Oss. Descended NE ridge but was unable to locate the rides etc referred to in someone else's log, ended up following streams down to the 'green' forest track running S, E, then N, to Dalrigh - probably better to do the NE ridge in ascent from the bend at 329261, if you want to find the ATV route, rides etc.Isbjorn Winter Round10/02/2019

Anticlockwise circuit of Ben Lui, Ben Oss and Beinn Dubhchraig from Dalrigh. Walked into Coire Gaothach then ascended S flank of Stob Garbh. Superior route to the ascent from the W I used in 2017.welshyboyo07/08/2018

From Dalrigh, avoiding the Slough of Despond, by forest tracks looping east before rejoining the ascent path at the waterfall. NE ridge to Beinn Dubhchraig, via the edge of Coire Garbh to Ben Oss, along the ridge to the NE Top and the lochans that mark the start of the descent path. The little waterfalls on the upper Allt Coire Dubhcraig were beautiful in the sunlight, flowing into malachite and aquamarine pools.Nick Down119/05/2018

Ben Lui excursion.justin99912/08/2015
Big walk from camp sit in tyndrum. I ended up walking to Dalrigh as I could not cross the track at Tyndrum due to Network Rail enough said. In the coire gaothach I went to far south so ended up cutting across the snows of central gully and then up to a point just west of stone garbh. The North East ridge was easy but fun. I visited both summits, I then went over toisabelle15/06/2015
