Beinn a Chaisteal and Beinn nam Fuaran, as per Walkhighlands route but with shorter return, descending S then W from BnF to Auch Glen - shorter and no fords to cross. With DRC. | TRG318 | 26/03/2023 |

Solo round of Beinn a' Chaisteil & Beinn nam Fuaran from the parking spot off the A82 by the big Loch Lomond & Trossachs sign and set off down an icy track joining the WHW down to Auch. Decided to do the route anti-clickwise - Glen Coralon > Beinn a' Chaisteil then followed the fenceline north down to the track by some man-made waterfalls, then the long walk out. Freezing temps down low, snow above 600m but sunny blue skies made for some dramatic views. Total time: 6h 8min. | mproudfoot | 11/12/2022 |

From A82 by Auch track junction, parked on gravel verge, narrow but ok. Past Auch, track on south side of Allt Coralan, across the stream on the track then heading diagonally up the grassy slope east then north avoiding the crags. Into the clag, fence posts to the obvious top. | Owen B | 21/08/2021 |
Solo MTB along N shore of Loch Lyon. Climbed NE flank of Beinn nam Fuaran. After very steep decent to SW over Beinn a' Chaisteil and descent via coll to NE and back around S shore of Loch. | John Lee | 16/07/2021 |
I parked near the Auch road end. I walked in towards Auch Lodge, under the railway viaduct and then up Glen Coralan before heading up the steep energy sapping grass slopes to Beinn a'Chaisteil. It was very windy on the summit. After taking a few photos, including one of my parked car in the far distance I headed down to the bealach for a lunch break. I then continued to Beinn nam Fuaran. | langskill | 12/06/2021 |

Bridge of Orchy-Beinn Dorain-Beinn nam Fuaran-Beinn a'Chaisteil-Tyndrum. Unusually dry underfoot. Went for very direct descent. Had spotted green spur from train, but was frazzled at summit and instead descended through scree (too far round to the north) and what normally would have been a significant burn. | campagvelocet | 22/07/2013 |

Solo. From A82 at boundary between Argyll and Bute, and Stirling Districts. Walked N on West Highland Way and then up Auch Gleann to pass under the railway viaduct and up the track up Glen Coralan. At the end of track struck up the hillside to reach the SE ridge of Beinn a' Chaisteil. There is a fence on the ridge, which is a boundary. The summit cairn is a few metres W of the point where the fence takes a right angled bend. Continued to Beinn nam Fuaran. Weather good – clear and dry. Some fresh snow on the highest parts. | pwbellarby | 17/11/1996 |
