From Innerwick. Along Lairig Ghallabhaich track, then then alongside old fence and up the north east shoulder of hill on short cropped heather. Descended south which was much more tussocky, to pick up the zig zag path and back to the car park. Short cutted back to the car park by fording the river and going through a deer gate at approx NN 581 482. Lovely sunny day but not too hot.Fife Walking02/09/2023
From Innerwick. Missed the streamside path on the way up, so had to backtrack to reach the FB. Didn't find any path off the track beyond the FB either, but it didn't matter much as the going to the top was fearly benign. On the descent I found the short route back by the stream. At top, could see everything but The Ben. Only 5 more Grahams to go!!!IanHHill21/06/2023
From Bridge of Balgie car park with Beinn Dearg, clockwise. First and last hours lovely weather, heavy showers in between. No clag though. Hags bad on Dearg. Rounsfell10/05/2023

Having previously tried to walk up Meall a'Mhuic without a map and found myself on top of Meall nam Maigheach, I was more cautious this time. From Innerwick, along the grassy track E of the stream, over the wooden bridge partially concealed by a bend in the track, along the track heading NW until, at 360m elevation, a heathery track surreptitiously leaves it to zigzag up the prow of Meall a'Mhuic, leaving a walk over gently angled heather slopes to the summit, which is a really outstanding viewpoint.Nick Down110/03/2023

From Glen Lyon. Easy ascent but needs careful route finding. The L fork along the river before the plantation is indistinct. The final fork right is 100m S of the junction on the 1:50k map and marked by 2 small cairns. Galltywenallt21/04/2022
Circuit from Innerwick. Sunny, cold wind.thekirkie pirate20/04/2022
From the car park at Innerwick. The 1:25K map is, ahem, somewhat inaccurate, showing tracks that don't exist or are submerged in bracken and not showing tracks that do exist, and the OS add to the confusion by not mapping all the fences. When you've figured out the puzzle, the best way is along the main track to a fenced plantation and sheep feeder, where you can get down to the old riverside track, along this, over the bridge and up the bulldozed track to a junction. The correct way is on the old track running parallel with the new track for a few yards and not the track going straight ahead, which I found runs out, but easy enough going up a tiny grassy stream which brings you to the hill track soon enough. This goes up to great piles of rocks amongst heather, then a bit higher. A boggy, grassy ATV track goes up to a post and then shows the way across a tussocky area before expiring at the foot of nice, easy short heather, which takes you to the top.

The only souls in the Innerwick car park on a sunny Christmas eve morning, we walked along icy tracks and over frosted peat and heather to Meall a' Mhuic. The track going half way up is a real help. As the threatened snow showers didn't materialise we continued NW to take in Meall nan Sac. What would otherwise have been a soggy, boggy mudfest was instead a crisp saunter up, down and through frozen haggs, so onto Meall nam Maigheach and its northern sister, before descending along Meall an Fhuarain to a forest track back to the car. A great way to kick off our Covid-compliant Christmas! 3.45hrs.summitter24/12/2020
From Cam Chreag. Steeply off the ridge SE of the summit, then pathless bypassing Meall nam Maigheach to the NW to point 621. ENE crossing the stream at 490m, then steep mostly heathery slopes to the gentle final slopes.Owen B21/09/2020

Up and down. Solo.Dangerous Dave16/04/2018
From estate picnic site with toilets. Up track other side of burn & took boggy track between burn & forest. Missed the start of track up S ridge so we built a small cairn on our way back. The start of the track doesn’t look like it continues as it does a left & runs parallel to main track. 4 hours 40 in snow.rogreeves31/03/2018

From Innerwick up south ridge to Meall a' Mhuic, then straight across to Beinn DeargGallovidian28/02/2016
Day trip from Stonehaven. Solo. Made a circular walk by going from Innerwick in Glen Lyon almost to the highest point of the Kirk Road that goes over to Loch Rannoch and then striking WSW to the summit of Meall a' Mhuic. Much pathless heather but not too thick or high. Descended the south ridge. Is the highest point really a few metres SW of the cairn. Could it not be hidden within the cairn itself?pwbellarby27/09/2015

Combined from Innerwick with Cam Chreag and Beinn Dearg. This one may be best climbed alone; much of the ridge is rough, wet, covered in thick heather and devoid of even animal tracks.Topographer5720/06/2011
