Snow covered ground and low cloud - from the high point of the A924. Dodged the sleet and snow showers mainly. 3 and a quarter hours with MM. | kenmorti | 29/12/2022 |
As recent posts from good parking on good path. | rhalstead | 18/09/2022 |
From good parking and track at NO 992619. From CP, over gate and ahead on gravel track. When this veers left, straight ahead (past elderberry bush) into green grassy swathe. The path gradually improves and becomes more distinct. Once on moor, it is very good. Evidence of old atv in parts. Lovely walk. | carole engel | 23/07/2022 |
With AR | VIPete28 | 18/06/2022 |

From track/road junction on A924, as per SMC guide. | IanHHill | 10/08/2021 |
Same route out and back as other recent bag reports, very straightforward. Beinn a'Ghlo impressive on the horizon, reclusive Loch Broom attractive also. | Owen B | 16/07/2021 |
2/2 Blath Bhalg West Top and Blath Bhalg from Dalnacarn, on a very moist day, but we dodged the worst of the weather and actually quite a pleasant short hill walk. | nickywood1 | 05/07/2021 |
Sunny, blue skies and warmer than forecast. A good ATV track for most of the way then a trod track with a fence for a handrail (if visibility poor, but it wasn't). Good all round views if a little hazy. | langskill | 23/04/2021 |
As per kdbennett. Plenty of space to park on the East side of the road. Nice views over to Ben Vrackie and Beinn a'Ghlo. | Nicky C | 02/01/2021 |

From A924 at NN991619, E up track to where a mast used to be, continuing up Dalnacarn Craig, and following ATV track on to fence line leading to Blath Bhalg West Top, then along ridge to Blath Bhalg, descending NW to [locked] bothy at NO011624, followed track from there down to Dalnacarn and back along road | kdbennett | 05/01/2020 |
From good parking at 991620. Wet track early on but ok as height gained.Cloud cleared luckily. Just over 2 hour return. Solo. | bolton | 02/11/2019 |
From car park at NN 992620 and then up intermittent track to summit. Chilly but pleasant views over Pertshire countryside. | MichaelF | 28/09/2019 |
An easy walk from the parking area across the road from the phone mast; the mapped mast E of the road does not exist. Old, dry ATV track until almost to the fence, then a narrow path along the fence over 2 bumps to the summit bump. Good bilberries. Blowing a gale but the rain missed me. | Gill | 19/08/2019 |
Blath Bhalg, from transmitter at high point of road to west. Decent path all the way. | davidpettit84 | 21/07/2019 |

After bike out with tent from head of Glen Fearnach started out on track near mast but then cut up a nice grassy rake to west of West top, then over this to main top and a more direct line back down. A pretty miserable day for weather. | dickscroop | 18/05/2019 |
