Standard route along Loch a' Bhraoin. Crossed river and then easily but steeply up Beinn Bheag. Steep but easy down to, and up from, bealach to Groban. Descent to NE back to river a bit scrappy and boggy lower down. | benalder284 | 11/11/2023 |

Bheinn Bheag, Groban & Meallan Chuach (including trig) from Loch a' Bhraoin. Big drops between them. A bit warm (27 degrees) so a dip in the loch was required. | sclater | 08/07/2023 |

From layby on the Destitution Road. Track to about one mile past Lochivraon with two fairly heavy showers on the way, then easily forded the stream, then a steady grassy plod to the flat summit area. Cloud base just touching the summit so no views of surrounding hilltops. | Owen B | 21/06/2023 |

With PM. | CJM | 19/09/2022 |
Parked in Meds car on Destitution road. Biked along rough road to bothy in 30 minutes. Crossed the river easily to gain the slopes and a steady plod to the summit. Walked all potential high points. With CM. Onwards to Groban. | bolton | 19/09/2022 |

From Groban. Windy, but what a viewpoint! Extensive views in all directions. Descended NE to stalkers path then to bothy and along track to car at head of loch. 14miles, 3100' ascent, 6 hours on the move. | MichaelF | 17/05/2022 |

with Rob Wight on a long tiring hot day. Standard walk in and out by Loch a Bhraoin. Sensational views | alexmaclennan | 01/09/2021 |

Walked from track end at Braemore, along Loch a' Bhraoin, past bothy for 1km or so, then up to Groban. Down to Bealach Gorm, then climbed Beinn Bheag. Returned SSW in trackless country, over Meallan Odhar then by stalkers path and decent tracks to Heights of Kinlochewe, then Incheril (benefit from having second car there). Route very similar to No. 312 of Scottish Hill Tracks by Scotways. | willyross | 17/06/2021 |

The usual route along Loch a' Bhraoin, then the path to the river crossing (cairns) then deer tracks easily but steeply up Beinn Bheag. Steep but easy descent to Bealach Gorm on smooth grass, then steep but easy climb to Groban. Sleet and rain at the top on a strong wind but dried up on the way down. Descent is also easy, heading for the river meanders. The newer, upper track around Loch a' Bhraoin gives easier going than the lower track but a lot of up and down. A thorough soaking on the walk out. | Gill | 20/05/2021 |

Walked in from A832 along Loch Bhraoin. Good track for walking; wouldn't advise it for a bike - lots of new deep gravel makes it slow as walking. Together with Groban. | IanHHill | 14/07/2019 |

From A832. Beinn Bheag, Groban, Ceann Garbh Meallan Chuaich (also visiting the trig point), camping on descent. Excellent views into Fisherfield, hot but mostly with cloud cover, and lots of horse flies on return. | RobertP | 06/07/2018 |
