| After bagging 2 Simms in the morning, drove round to Glen Shira, and from parking at the cemetery cycled up to the Clachan Flats windfarm at 520m.(14.5k on good roads). Over Clachan Hill (trig) then passed a substantial cairn at 19371 15794 which I thought might be the high point, but continued along the ridge and found the cairn listed here as the summit. Returned the same way. | NormanW | 03/04/2023 |
| tedious ascent on track confused by new tracks not marked on OS etc. Good weather with views. Tricky descent to forestry track heavily littered with brash. | oatcake | 01/04/2023 |
| Parked at the end of Glen Fyne for a circuit of 5 Simms (and 3 other summits) around Beinn Buidhe: Beinn Bhuidhe East Top, Ceann Garbh, Beinn an t-Sithein, Stac a' Chuirn, Beinn Chas. | PGCE | 18/09/2022 |
| From Achadunan car park. Climbed up on the unmarked track just before Glenfyne Lodge. Detoured to Newton Hill summit. Followed track to the end and then contoured(ish) over to the ridge end at Ceann Garbh, then back to Beinn Bhuidhe East Top, Beinn Bhuidhe, Stac a' Chuirn East Top and Stac a' Chuirn. Returned to Beinn Bhuidhe summit and took the path back down before branching off to Meall an Daimh. From there a moorland walk to Beinn Chas and continued to Clachan Hill trig. I then dropped back to the parking which wasn't a recommended route due to steep valley and vegetation! Clear on all summits, good views. Solo. | meltdiceburg | 17/09/2022 |
