10 hills today, should have been 11, but I didn't cross the deer fence. From Ben Lawers car park (£3). Meall nan Tarmachan S Top, Meall nan Tarmachan, Meall Garbh, Beinn nan Eachan E Top, Beinn nan Eachan, Creag na Caillich, all on Munro motorway. Then went NW on faint animal track to Meall Ton Eich, and back to .796 Creag na Caillich W Top, no real path but grassy hillside, no heather so easy going. Straight down to Beallach & up Meall Dhuin Croisg E Top & Meall Dhuin Croisg. Back to Beallach trying to avoid Crags. SE then to pick up path to Dam. Made the effort to climb Meall Liath on walk out but failed to cross deer fence so missed it by about 20m. There was a ladder stile too. 21km, 1100m climb 10/11 hills un sunshine with friends. Not too bad. | Lynnebe | 19/07/2023 |
Parked just E of the private road junction, S of the hill. Up on grass west of the crags, and to the summit. Excellent snowy views to the higher hills. Continued on to Creag na Caillich. | LizH | 15/04/2023 |
From small parking area at east of road junction NN539352. Cars are not allowed up the private road. | BaggerGutt | 31/03/2023 |
From the South, driving up the private road to the first junction. This hill first, then its East Top, and then on to Meall ton Eich. 4 hours. | NormanW | 15/07/2022 |
A clockwise round of 5 Simms. Drove up the hydro road to the forested compound, where there’s parking for many cars. From Meall Ton Eich, via a couple of sub-bumps, then down S to the car. | Minto | 25/07/2021 |
#1 of 4 from SSW, paved road to surge chamber (Could have driven to 300m), grassy terrain. | RHW | 26/06/2021 |
Parked to S, partway up the hydro road. Circuit of Meall Dhuin Croisg (ascended track, then ATV track left of enclosure, then up short grass) and Meall Ton Eich (returned on path from shielings). | PGCE | 02/06/2021 |
Hot day, great walk. Drove up the Glen Lochay hydro road as far as possible then followed the old drovers road across meadow, railroad sleepers and steel girders to the ghost village of Shielings, then an easy steady ascent along the southern ridge of Beinn nan Oighreag. Took a direct easterly descent to, the probably boggy most of the year, Lairig Bhreislich, which was straightforward in super dry conditions, to enable an assault on the northern ridge of Meall Ton Eich. From there it was onwards to Creag na Caillich, giving a spectacular view of the Tarmachan ridge. But, we headed home via the less dramatic but equally undulating Creag na Caillich west and the two Meall Dhuin Croisg tops. A westwards descent got us back to the drovers track and the eventual mid-summer delights of an ice-cold diet coke and choc-ice in Killin. | summitter | 30/05/2020 |
Drove up tarmac track to end S of first summit: Meall Dhuin Croisg; Meall Ton Eich; Beinn nan Oighreag; Creag an Talabhein; Cam Creag. Return stalkers path looks good on map but barely exists on ground which resulted in a lot of deep heather and bracken when I lost the line. | dickscroop | 20/08/2018 |
traverse from killin power station to the north end of lochan na lairige,meall dhuin croisg, meall dhuinn croisg east top, meall ton eich,creag na caillich,beinn nan eachan, beinn nan eachan east top, meall garbh,meall nan tarmachan, meall nan tarmachan SE top,meall nan tarmachan east top, meall nan tarmachan NE top, creag an lochain, cycled downhill back to the power station. | robertphillips | 30/10/2016 |
From Glen Lochay side, sunny, hot, calm, cloudless, good views. | iangalbraith | 23/03/2012 |
With a friend. We drove to Glen Lochay and drove a short way up a track northwards just beyond the power station. We started from there, reaching Meall Dhùim Croisg. We continued to Creag na Caillich and Beinn nan Eachan. My friend left to do Meall Tòn Eich. I continued along the ridge to Meall nan Tarmachan. Descended over the SE top (a newish Munro top) to reach my car which had been positioned at the Ben Lawers Visitor Centre. Weather good. | pwbellarby | 29/06/2003 |
