A walk from Killin where we had a Freckles weekend. Walked past the dam for about a 1km, and then followed the mist to the summit. Lots of tarmac but we managed a pint at the end so were not too tired of tar.ragudave05/05/2023

Surprised to find that this is a splendid walk, despite the tarmac bashing. Parked at the gate below the mast; the road is steep, winter tyres recommended if at all icy. Fallen trees have been cleared. The walk along the hydro road is lovely, great views, which you can appreciate with the easy walking. I went up the hill from the hairpin to the SE, easy going on grassy sheep tracks. Splendid views of dozens of your favourite hills from the top.Gill01/03/2022
With Brian and Janice, from the CP in Glen Ogle. Lots of snow along the track in 7 hours.Play2End25/02/2022
With PJ, AJ. Parked close to where the Rob Roy Way meets the south Loch Tay road. East up the good track past the reservoir, leaving the track SSW of the summit. Retraced steps. Windy but dry and bright, soft snow higher up.Owen B21/02/2022

I bagged Creag Ghrabh (637m) today, a Graham, south east of Killin. I started off at Achmore Bridge on the south side of Loch Tay, then I followed the Rob Roy’s Way up a surfaced track to Lochan Breaclaich, with the final 140m of ascent up boggy slopes, covered in 2 inches of powdery snow. Great views in all directions, particularly of Ben Lui, Ben Vorlich and Loch Tay.chillyman829/12/2020

We had 2 cars so decided to walk from Ardreonaig to Achmore Burn (1 mile E of Killin) via the Rob Roy Way, diverting off to go up Meall Odhar and Creag Gharbh. Between the two tops, a matter of walking over the easiest ground- joining the E ridge below steep rough ground, N of the tiny lochan shown on the map. We descended S across heather and grass/runnels, the latter ground OK as it was so dry. A satisfying walk, as point-to points are, great views over the Tay valley.pwheeler29/05/2018
Here for the trigpoint. TP:UK log: We can see this trig from our lodge at Morenish, so decided it would be great to bag it. Longish walk (probably about 8km round trip) but only the last 500m was heather bashing, wee Hamish had lots of carries but didn't want to stay in the carrier! We were rewarded with great views from the top.thejackrustles22/05/2018

After staying at Killin YH. With friend. Took advantage of two cars to leave one near Achmore. Continued in other to Braentrian and walked from there. Walked up a track and path past some shielings to meet a pipeline. We followed a track initially SW. Near Creag Gharbh we went north to the summit and back to the track a slightly different way. Continued on the track W past the dammed Lochan Breaclaich and so reached the road on the south side of Loch Tay. It did not rain!pwbellarby19/09/1999
