From Fiarach. Looks boring on the map and from a distance but the summit area is actually quite pleasant with many knobbles. | Adrian | 28/08/2022 |
From parking just West of Derrydarroch. Up beside the pipeline and on to the metalled track, past the dam where I crossed the 2 major burns both quite lively. Very wet underfoot towards the summit where I enjoyed horrible wetting drizzle. Soaked feet curtailed my plan to add another hill to the outing, it can wait. | NormanW | 13/06/2022 |
Parked in the layby at NN3502 2197. Along the nearby section of old road and up by the pipeline to the railway footbridge. Joined the track above the Eas Eonan, going just beyond it's end to NN34511 23531 where we crossed the stream. On deer tracks and died back grass to the summit. Good view of Beinn Dubhchraig just before mist closed in. | LizH | 17/01/2022 |
Numerous small ATV and animal tracks heading up from the stream crossing (345235, though no FB) made this much easier terrain than expected - in November, at least. | 49pp | 03/11/2021 |
From P at Derrydaroch, over railway footbridge beside a prominent pipeline then straight up to a good vehicle track and which leads to a small dam. After crossing the river there you can get onto an ATV track which goes to near the top. Braw snowy day. | sclater | 23/01/2021 |
We had to cross the river, not easy during winter. Excellent walk, great views. | Missphoton | 23/01/2021 |
Started at Falls of Falloch. Took a track opposite the car park entrance till it ended at the railway line. Hopped over the railway fence and up the flank of Clach na Briton. Tough terrain, but aided by frozen ground and bright sunshine. Eventually got to Cruachan Cruinn then headed NE to Creagan Soilleir. Mostly frozen bog, as was the continuation to Fiarach, with a helpful old fence line to follow much of the way. Wanted to do a stretch of the West Highland Way as it was such a lovely day, so took in Craw Knowe en route, tracking the forest edge for a couple of kms. Once on WHW I went towards Glasgow, eventually getting back to the Falls of Falloch. Had to go past the Falls and cross the river by balancing on a useful fallen tree. | summitter | 15/11/2019 |
Short walk over rough grass from Falls of Falloch carpark- through sheep creep under railway. | Denise | 11/05/2019 |
An opportunity to stretch legs on the drive from Birmingham to Oban. From the Falls of Falloch car park | RichardM | 11/05/2019 |
Craw Knowe, Cruachan Cruinn and Fiarach from car park on A82 approx 2km SW of Crianlarich. Climbed through mist to see the tops, camped fairly close to Fiarach summit. Very wet underfoot. | RobertP | 21/12/2018 |
parked at gate where railway crosses A82, up track rhs of eas eonan to near end, then wet atv to near top. | robertphillips | 02/08/2017 |
Ugly new track from Glen Falloch could be useful, goes up to Eas Eonan at NN 34621 23263 | alda | 13/03/2015 |
with Rob Woodall. perhaps about 9.30am another nice fine day | vegibagger | 26/08/2013 |
From SE, track just SW of Falls of Falloch car park to cross rly then mostly easy terrain. Nice viewpoint. With Charles Everett. | RHW | 26/08/2013 |
Up from Glen Falloch. Footbridge at NN345234 over Eas Eonan was a couple of logs. Crossing significantly below it must be tricky. Lengthy shower on top. On to Fiarach. | campagvelocet | 11/04/2012 |
