Bagging the 2 Donald Tops from Church carpark clockwise. Mostly surprisingly easy ground despite all the peathags, just a couple awkward bits.	AndrewFinnimore	06/10/2018
Alone, from Glen Artney church.	Grinner	21/10/2017
With Uamh Bheag on round of Glen Artney Donalds	nickywood1	17/07/2017
Followed SMC Grahams and Donald circuit: Am Beannan - Meall Clachach - Uamh Bheag W and E tops - Beinn Odhar - Beinn nan Eun. Rime on the ground helped with the peatier sections. Otherwise Spring-like, with a skein of geese flying North, bright sun and a cloud inversion.	Nick Down1	21/01/2017
Weather fair.	MountainMac	04/01/2017
2 of 7: From Am Beannan.	ChrisR	28/10/2016
Wet day walk from Glen Artney	David Greaves	09/07/2016
Route as per SMC Grahams & Donalds book. 7 hours for the circuit: hard going for most of the way with no paths to speak of and lots of peat hags.	TRG318	07/07/2016
On way down off Uamh Beag.	ngthack	06/04/2016
Solo; P at Glen Artney church, walked SW along road and through gate before bridge; continued on rough terrain beside the Water of Ruchill and across an old partial bridge over Allt Ollach, past a croft ruin and steeply up Am Beannan then on broad ridge to Meall Clachach and onward to Uamh Bheag, heading later to Beinn Odhar. Sub-zero with ground frost at start, developing into a warm day when the sun rose over the hills.	seumas	17/10/2015
