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

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 to Beinn a chleibh and returned to col with Ben Lui I then contoured round to the col with Ben oss. The North East ridge of Oss was fun as I glossed down the snow patches. It was then over the subsidiary top and up Beinn dubhchraig. I reversed to the loch and and went down the path to the north of the allt coire dubhchraig. Lower down this was boggy towards the bottom I turned south crossed the river cononish and picked up the outward path near the bridge under the railway. I returned on the West Highland Way to Tyndrum. I walked 17.5 miles in 9.25 hours with 1830 metres of ascent.isabelle15/06/2015
