| Cycled into Glen Gyle from Stronachlachar then easy slope up to Beinn Ducteach North Top. Before her West and big sister could be tackled there was the wee matter of Cruach to wander over to. Stob nan Eighrach was next, followed the two Maol an Fhithich outcrops. Back down to the awaiting bike in Glen Gyle, which sped me to a desperately needed cold drink and ice cream at the Stronachlachar cafe on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year to date. | summitter | 04/06/2023 |
| Verge parking at NN 3204 1988 for a circuit of 15 summits. Track to the Ben Glas Burn, then ATV goes most of the way to Maol an Fhithich. 1/15 | PGCE | 26/04/2023 |
| 5 Simms, a Tump and a couple of subbies. Ben Glas, Stob Creag an Fhithich, Meall nam Tarmachan West Top, Meall nam Tarmachan, Parlan Hill and Cruach. Parked Drovers Inn. Interesting descent from Parlan hill, under pylons and round to this fine view point, and it's sub-Tump N top. | Minto | 11/03/2023 |
| After 3 Simms, approached from Parlan Hill. Then on to the excellent sub-tump of Cruach North Top which is listed on Haroldstreet but not yet on Hillbagging. Descent to Ben Glas Burn and back to car at the Drovers. | NormanW | 11/03/2023 |
| Excellent circuit from Ben Glas farm up beside waterfall taking in Ben Glas, Stob Creag an Fhithich, Meall nan Tarmachan West Top, Meall nan Tarmachan, Chabhair, Parlan Hill and Cruach. | sclater | 06/07/2020 |
| Permission to park at Beinglas Farm as we were going to go into the pub/café there after our walk. Obvious path up past the waterfall, though a bit wet/muddy in places. Crossed the burn and followed an ATV track towards Cruach. Easy walking higher up. A worthwhile hill with character, and good views. | LizH | 25/04/2019 |
| Cnap Mor and Cruach from Beinglas farm. North top quite prominent, worth visiting just in case | Colin Crawford | 29/05/2018 |
