Dropped off to walk up to Beach House and on to Beinn Bhugan in thick mist. South then SW towards Cruachan Min but arrived at 375m point before following fence posts to summit. Continued same direction then NW in horrendous conditions to meet road near cemetery. Lift offered and accepted to Bunessan. | lordtonult | 05/05/2022 |
From road end Loch Assapol, could easily have driven to locked gate into forest. Followed first track to wide break and up to the cairn on the rock rib. Mist covered top, return same way. | N.Morters | 22/01/2022 |
A misty, drizzly day. Andrew Finnimore's route is excellent. You can drive the Scoor road above Loch Assapol to the end of the forestry track, good parking. Easily on the track through no less than 5 gates. The very wide firebreak to the hill is just after the only gateway without a gate, fence one side, wall the other. A bit of tussock to start, then the going is easy short grass, vague path, exiting to the hill over failed forestry trenches, all easy, no bracken unless you want it. Map and compass navigation up and down the hill from there is easy. Loose bearing up the hill allows good going but precise navigation for the return crosses less pleasant ground. | Gill | 23/06/2021 |

Parked on section of old road just W of Ormsaig. Fairly direct line to summit: useful deer track to about 200m starts at the road. | PGCE | 22/02/2020 |
Found this more difficult than anticipated due to high bracken not yet died back, also very wet underfoot after recent torrential rain. But I got there with determination ! | NormanW | 06/09/2019 |
From car park on main rd, then track to Eas Mor waterfalls. From here branched off to bag Beinn Bhugan before moving on to Cruachan Min and then the trig pillar on Creagach | Wayne Mac | 30/07/2019 |
From south starting at 440236. Animal tracks through the bracken debris, easy to see as new growth was still submerged. Higher up the ground gets easier. Summit atra surprisingly smooth and flat. Hazy sunshine, all surrounding summits cloud free but the haze restricted the view. | Topographer57 | 11/04/2019 |
As MartinR, except atv track under 5' high bracken, not a good idea in June. Straightish line after bracken, bit rough. Overcast, dry, windy but mild. | iangalbraith | 21/06/2018 |

Could park were I wanted as there were road works, so went on a bit where there is a gate and a track to some houses, walked on the right hand side of the fence which took me to the top in 1hr and 10 min. | tallblond | 03/06/2015 |

Bus to Ormsaig, then easily up on grass. | Chris Peart | 04/05/2015 |
Walked up w Jenx from off road parking nr Port Mor. Easy going underfoot while bracken is young. Followed deer tracks easily. From Cruachan Min went to Creagach trig and back out via Beinn Bhugan. | nordicstar | 29/04/2015 |

Started at NM44893 24007 where there is parking, unlocked gate and an ATV track that takes you halfway there. A tourist route without any tourists. With a sunny day, what more could a bagger ask for? | Martin R | 19/04/2012 |
