| Callop round via the Cona Glen path.Everything bone dry today other than the path through the forest from the dam on descent. | ARM | 25/05/2023 |
| From Callop. double Graham route. Did route clockwise as the weather was forecast to be better in the afternoon..and it was. Forest was very boggy, in fact yesterday the suction of the mossy bog on my lightweight boots sucked the sole almost off, leaving just 1 inch attached, so abandoned and did today with 3 season boots. | Jhimmy | 23/03/2023 |
| From N walked over to Geal Charn, W of Glenfinnan to meet Graham, my lift. Not sure these two are ever done together! | davechaffey | 17/03/2023 |
| From parking just off A830 for a round of Glas Bheinn, Meall nan Damh and WT. | rhalstead | 14/10/2022 |
| From Callop. Clockwise route doing Glas Bheinn first. Using the track that heads east just before top of main track. Probably the only viable route through forestation. Bit boggy in places but not too bad. Up easy slopes to summit. Perfect weather, clear blue skies and warm but not hot. | Jossker | 10/09/2022 |
| From Meall nan Damh. Very easy stroll. Caught up by fell runner Don plus dog approaching the trig. Visited both summits. Descended NW to the corner of the forestry by the stream confluence, through the broken section of the deer fence, onto the muddy, mossy track through the plantation which then joins the main track back to Callop. | Owen B | 28/08/2022 |

| From NW - CP just off A830. Unmapped track thru' forest NM 9192 7724 to NM 9257 7653 ends just over FB. Must cross Allt a'Choire Chruinn after which deer fence cut thru' | carole engel | 25/08/2022 |
| From Callop - followed Cona Glen path to highest point and then ascended the SW ridge to the W top and then the summit of Meall nan Damh. Stunning inversion today. Relatively straightforward to Glas Bheinn. Secret for an easy descent is then to find the head of the track starting at the Dam/Bridge. As mentioned by others the 'track' through the forest is deteriorating badly but it's better than any alternative! | benalder284 | 18/12/2021 |
| From Calllop, part of a three day foray into Ardgour and Loch Shiel. | Grinner | 12/06/2021 |
| A very fine walk, nice hills. From Callop using the bridge and forestry track to get to the NE ridge of Meall nan Damh. A little tussocky to start but soon improves to decent grass, a good ridge walk, steep in places. Nice easy stroll from the W to E summit then on to Glas Bheinn. The descent is fairly smooth going. But wouldn't it be nice if the FC would invest in a better placed gate to allow access back to the track? Covid update: good luck finding a space in the car park amongst the camper vans and crowds sitting around folding tables set for breakfast. | Gill | 02/05/2021 |

| Ascent of Glas Bheinn then Meall nan Damh. Followed track from Callop, was unable to cross stream at dam, so backtracked 250metres to bridge over stream, followed boggy but well-marked forest track to east end of woods, then directly ascended dryish slopes of Glas Bheinn. Then crossed flat bealach to Meall nan Damh. Decided to return to aforesaid bealach then head for bridge and small dam at entry to woods, then retraced steps to Callop. | willyross | 29/10/2019 |
| From Meall nan Damh in mist. Descent to forestry corner at hydro scheme and on access track back to Callop path. | MichaelF | 21/09/2019 |

Revisited on 04/12/16, approaching on bike along Cona Glen making sure I visited the summit this time!! | raffemeister | 14/04/2012 |
