| From the NE path to the vat then up through the trees, lots of wind blown trees to go around. | robertphillips | 01/04/2024 |
| Weather fair. | MountainMac | 11/10/2023 |
| From Cambus o May FC car park. Path all the way to the rather Swedish feeling granite slab summit. Car park will need a mobile app from June. Sinister as this probably suggests an expansion of charging and inevitable problems with signal in other places | fasgadh | 26/05/2023 |
| From the visitors' centre car park. Woodland tracks to the Vat - worth a visit - then steeply up wooded hillside to the top. | jonglew | 27/12/2021 |
| From NE Burn o' Vats visitor centre (bonus cut BM), path to The Vat (impressive) then up from just below The Vat, initially steep soggy heathery then easy woodland, then path (MTBs) to slabby summit, a bit of an inversion. | RHW | 27/12/2021 |
| From Cambus o' May car park. Walked past lochans in forest, along track, then up MTB track to summit. Pretty granite and pine clad summit with good views over Loch Dinnet. 7.9km. | PiranhaFish | 07/11/2021 |

| Sunny short stroll from the visitor centre following in the footsteps of many others to boulder hop under the chockstone arch and into the fabulous smooth sided cauldron of The Vat. This giant pothole 12m across was formed 16,000 yrs ago by a torrent of melting glacier floodwater. Its thought that the bed on which you stand is now 7m+ deep in deposited silt. I was wearing my boots but still in my smart work trousers and shirt as meant to be a recee - but grass, rather than the expected heather & bracken, tempted me upwards through the trees to join an unexpected mb track near the summit boiler plates slabs of granite. A fine viewpoint of the lake below. Down mb track until short cut through rough forest led direct to visitor centre. Lovely warm afternoon but a front is on its way. | Chris Pearson | 29/09/2020 |
