58 - from Dalrigh. 4th and final Munro of the walk. A long slow grind carrying heavy rucksack with camping gear. Shared lunch with a raven at the top. The upper part of the NE ridge is a great route, although once past the excitement, it's a long plod down to the valley floor, and an even longer one back to the car. In glorious sunshine by now. | huwthomas | 28/07/2023 |

From Dalrigh. Up track to Cononish. Direct ascent of Beinn Dubhchraig, then Ben Oss, Ben Lui and out to Beinn a' Chleibh. Followed the path down to the forest, and contoured back around Ben Lui and down the valley before picking up the track back. Clear on Dubhchraig but cloud dropped onto the tops after that. Solo. | meltdiceburg | 22/08/2022 |
OMC Day Meet: Parked at Glen Lochy forestry car park, took wellies for the burn crossing, stashed them in the bushes. 13 folk there, the group quickly split in two based on speed and intentions, as half the group wanted to do the four munros, my slower group were happy with Beinn a' Chleibh and Ben Lui. 
We went up Beinn a' Chleibh first, intermittent views as the mist cleared and then was backfilled. My right knee was painful descending back to the saddle, despite a support band. Once a top Ben Lui, there was discussion about which top was higher (south one) we did both though. 
Descent was worse due to knee, followed stone path below the track, which we missed on the ascent, 07:30hrs all in. | chillyman8 | 21/08/2022 |

Not the best hill walking day ever | LizzieG | 04/08/2019 |
Followed walkhighlands route. Walked with WM. Day after a wedding so was a slow start. Wet feet straight away from the river crossing, but would have gotten wet further up because the bog was over ankle deep in places, we ended up walking through the trees rather than along the river. No views at all for what is apparently the best viewpoint in the area! But a great day! | kateslattery90 | 29/07/2019 |

From Glen Lochy car park on A85, through forest than up on to NW ridge, Ben Lui, across to Beinn a'Chleibh, back to bealach, and return through Fionn Choirein and the forest. Path finding in forest not easy - areas of forest operations, new roads and fences not on the maps. Crossing the river Lochy currently very easy - some of the forest paths are wetter. | kdbennett | 07/05/2017 |
