| As forecast, dry with some winter sunshine but a cold NE wind, ground partly frozen, small patches of newish snow. Parked at spacious car park at road-end in Glen Coilessan, S of Ardgarten. 1h 30m from The Brack to here, 1h 5m back down to car. | NorfolkPT21 | 13/12/2023 |
| Up the LL&C Way from the CP above Coilessan. Then a good footpath along the NW ridge to the summit of Cnoc Coinnich. No paths thereafter to Beinn Reithe and The Saddle so we stayed as high as possible along the curved ridge, joining up deer trods were available. Descended SE to the forestry road from The Saddle along the overgrown track that starts at the forest edge in Beallach na Diollaide. Managed to hitch a lift back to the starting CP from a great guy delivering diesel to the forestry workers busy felling much of the plantation. | summitter | 17/08/2023 |

| From Lochgoilhead with Smithy & a stinking cold for company. After a morning deluge of biblical proportions, the sun briefly appeared & we set off following the Cowal Way past some spectacular water courses up to the tree line. Continued following the marker posts as the path leads diagonally up & across the hillside to a prominent mound. From here faint paths lead upwards, becoming easier to follow after passing a large boulder. Improvement in the weather didn't extend to a view from the summit. Back by the same route where we did get a great view from the bealach. | NotReallyABagger | 09/08/2019 |
