Free road parking NS 3588 9290. Mapped path up. Dropped off SSW, then W on grass. Patchy bracken on climb to Doune Hill easily avoided. On to Cruach an t-Sidhein, Beinn Eich and down to stile (NS 3255 9401) to Edentaggart (path indistinct - would be hard to find going up) where lovely lady with car parked at NS 3262 1414 (room for one car only) drove me down to the A82. Hardest part of walk was crossing that road! Excellent walk.carole engel24/07/2023

Walked from Shegarton Farm Cottages to Luss then up on this little horseshoe walk and back. Quiet saw a couple of folk all day. None on Doune Hill. Company: Soloiandesbottes02/03/2023
Managed to arrive early enough to park at the start of the minor road up the glen. An anti-clockwise round of 4 Marilyns, 2 Simms and a sub-Simm.Minto05/02/2023

From the Luss car park, over the footbridge past the house and through the 'kissing gate'. Up the ridge to the top. Good views, but bitterly cold.LizH16/01/2023

Free roadside parking just S of Luss, where minor road crosses river (car parks are £1.20 per hour). Quick up and down on the ridge path. Good views. Unusual to share a Simm with about 20 other people, and there was a grey squirrel running around the top.PGCE21/09/2022

Straight up from Luss. A popular weekend hill, so fortunately got parked early. Drove up with Gavin and met up with Steve Kirk for a Saturday overnight camp. A revisit for fun!Dangerous Dave19/03/2022

Did this after Mid Hill,the G, as a clockwise circuit from Luss with brother, Pete. An entirely enjoyable walk on a fine day with very good views, snow above ~2500 ft made big mountains look very impressive. Lovely view over Luss to Loch Lomond on the way down from HP.pwheeler19/03/2020
