Had a lift to the start, which was fortunate because the car park at the southern end of Loch Lubnaig was full at 9.45 in the morning. Up the path to Ben Ledi, where we saw lots of people and then on to Benvane where we saw no one for the rest of the day. Dropped down to the forest edge at Creag a'Mhadaidh and followed it to Immeroin Burn (slow going) and then East to the forest and tracks back to Strathyre. A little bit of snow on the tops. Beautiful day. | tsharp | 24/03/2024 |
Lovely walk up from Baltimore. Very cold morning, stonking views from summit. Munched a beef sarnie with loads of english mustard and sausage roll. Slung on a coat and just sat and sucked it all in. Brill day.

From Ballimore following fence SW on NW side of sparce plantation then follow vague grassy path/atv track. Small detour to pick off sub Dodd Mullach an t-Samhraidh. Picked up track heading SSE over Lianach to fence corner then handrail fence all the way to summit. Cold rain to start turning to snow at about 700m driven by strong westerly wind. Returned by same route missing out Mullach an t-Samhraidh. Cracking winter day in bad weather with bolton. Great fun. | mntainman | 09/01/2023 |
With mntainman in wind, horizontal snow, cloud. A real winter mountain day. From Ballimore which is good underfoot. | bolton | 09/01/2023 |

Good parking NN 5293 1750. Track towards Lianach forking right up hill, over easy pasture to gate NN 5308 1714. Easy on to ridge and good path to top from NN 5266 1520. Off ridge to meet fence line and deer trod up forest edge to Beinn an t-Sithein (BS), picking up good path to top from NN 5467 1668. Couldn't find path back to Immeroin/Glen Buckie (not difficult vegetation) where saw a FP sign - hill path to BS - at NN 5367 3740 | carole engel | 08/09/2022 |
From Ballimore - dawn start, but low clouds meant no summit views, though the clouds broke during the descent. Fairly straight forward route - path all the way, though faint in places, and boggy in others. Total time 2h 26min. | mproudfoot | 25/08/2022 |
From Ballimore, up the broad grassy ridge. Warm clear dry day. | N.Morters | 16/07/2022 |
Up from Ballimore. Nice spring day, cool with slight breeze. As usual i was a little slower than paul, sarah and clem. They waited for me but i went around the hummock on the other side. Thinking. I was seriously lagging behind i went as fast as i could and reached the summit well before the others who eventually realised what had happened and caught me up. | cjo | 08/05/2022 |

A quick and easy afternoon stroll from Ballimore, on a good path the whole way. What luxury! The morning was disgustingly wet so I felt very smug to be basking in afternoon sunshine at the summit. | Gill | 08/08/2016 |
