| Easy ascent from marked parking area near cairn at top of pass; a new path is growing along the highest line. Excellent viewpoint of C southern Highlands. Spots of rain just began to fall on summit but all tops around were clear. | NorfolkPT21 | 15/09/2023 |

| Road closed two and a half miles ahead for resurfacing May 2022 the sign said at the turn off up to Ben Lawers above Loch Tay. Oh dear. Well I'll see how close I can get and walk from there. Went past the Ben Lawers car park, no sign of any closure or roadworks. Parked at the high point of the road above the reservoir with quite a few other cars. Over Meall nan Eun, then a pathless tussocky yomp to the summit. Contoured to the west of Meall nan Eun on the way back. Drove a bit further to bag the neighbouring Corbett, some road mending vehicles and evidence of some recent resurfacing, but no road closure. Driving downhill towards Bridge of Balgie from the second Corbett, passed a Road Closed sign facing back uphill. Strange. | Owen B | 21/05/2022 |

| From parking at top of Reservoir. Easy short ascent on a glorious clear sunny day, alpine style snow capped Lawers range. | N.Morters | 19/03/2022 |
| Short one with Richard on a very windy but clear day | amcculloch | 12/02/2022 |
| Simple ascent from high point of pass to Bridge of Balgie; soggy lower down by cold on top and great views at sunset | Rockdoctor | 28/12/2021 |

| Parked beneath the big cairn and followed a footpath that got increasingly muddy to Meall Corranaich West Top before doubling back to Meall nan Eun. Deer and sheep tracks made the ascent of Meall nam Maigheach fairly straightforward in dry conditions, and a walkers path runs from the summit cairn to Meall Luaidhe. Returned via the ATV track parallel to the stone wall down to the road, then up the road itself back to the cairn. Less than 2hrs total at a leisurely pace for a 4 top bagging morning. | summitter | 15/04/2021 |
| From the small car park on the Loch Tay - Glen Lyon road. Carried on to Meall Luaidhe. | DanMaisieBex | 28/10/2020 |
| Directly from roadside near NN591417, skirting Meall na Eun, then straight to summit of Meall nan Maigheach, return same way. | kdbennett | 26/09/2020 |

| 5/5 Slept in van at Invervar and traversed to bike I had dropped near reservoir. Bypassed Lawers to have puff left for Corbett at end. Bike ride back a delight. Time includes 45m cycling. | Rounsfell | 29/07/2020 |

| Damp day trudging around boggy bogs! Terrible views, as in very low visibility, but fun practicing navigating and managed all tops including 2 munros, Meall nan Eun, Meall nam Maigheach, Meall Luaidhe, Meall a'Choire Leith, Meall Corranaich, Sron Dha Mhurchaidh | Nicky C | 29/06/2020 |
| From small parking space at 582417. I got across rough terrain to the ridge at 592426 and then along an indistinct track. Descended down the ATV running alongside the wall. Solo. Conditions slowly got better! | bolton | 02/11/2019 |
| I picked up a report from someone on Walkhighlands who found a better way up this Corbett. Head down the road towards Glen Lyon for a few hundred yards. Beside a white sign for Meggernie Estate an old stone wall heads up hill (shown on OS 25000 map). This leads almost to the summit and there is a feint Vehicle track alongside. Easy going - less than an hour up. | Crib Goch | 16/09/2019 |
