Verge parking at NN 3204 1988 for a circuit of 15 summits. Track to the Ben Glas Burn, then ATV goes most of the way to Maol an Fhithich. 8/15PGCE26/04/2023
5 Simms, a Tump and a couple of subbies. Ben Glas, Stob Creag an Fhithich, Meall nam Tarmachan West Top, Meall nam Tarmachan, Parlan Hill and Cruach. Parked Drovers Inn. Path steeply up from Beinglas farm. Lovely descent for Meall nam Tarmachan, and round across the valley. Then steeply up.Minto11/03/2023
After Ben Glas and Stob Creag an Fhithich. I waited at the summit whilst Minto climbed 2 other Simms. Then on to Cruach.NormanW11/03/2023
The usual Beinglas starting point. Once above the wooded hillside we headed up the rugged SW slopes of Meall Mor nan Eag to its summit, before seemingly touching every hillock between there and Beinn Chabhair, including the notables of Ben Glas, Stop Creag an Fhithich, Stob Garbh Bhealach and the Meall nan Tarmachan peaks. Once over the Munro it was down to Creag Bhreac and across the beallach to the English sounding Parlan Hill. Returned NW to the Ben Glas Burn and the tourist path to Beinn Chabhair. A bar in the campsite car park provided ample reward for our efforts.summitter29/04/2022

From Beinglas farm, by waterfall path, Cruach and Beinn Ducteach. Mostly reasonably short grass for walking. Descended towards the Ben Glas Burn and a vehicle track, taking this briefly before following the obvious walkers track back to the stile above the waterfall.LizH25/04/2019
