Beinn Chaorach, Cam Chreag and CC South Top from Auchtertyre. Along the track under the railway, past the shielings to the top opf the zig-zags, up BC's south ridge, across the bealach on a small path south of the peat hags, and along the toplets running South from CC as far as the one beyond the lochan east of the South Top. I descended WSW to arrive at the initially very marshy track along Gleann a'Chlachain at around 368333.Nick Down118/09/2022
From the A82 layby for a round of Beinn Challuim South Top, Cam Chreag and Beinn Chaorach.rhalstead16/09/2022
Clockwise round of Beinn Odhar, Beinn Chaorach and Cam Chreag, starting in the dark from the Dalrigh car park (just off the A82 partway up between Crianlarich and Tyndrum). Walked the WHW to Tyndrum and onwards over the railway bridge to head up Beinn Odhar. From Beinn Odhar, nearly a 500m drop down into Glen Cumhang, and a ~400m steep pathless re-ascent up Beinn Chaorach. However, after that, a fairly easy going ascent over to Cam Chreag finished the main ascents for the day - down to Glen Clachain and out via the track (initially quite wet). Good wee day out on the Tyndum hills - total time 6h 5min.mproudfoot06/09/2022

A beautifully sunny last day of the decade drew us to Strath Fillan. Did Beinn Chaorach and Cam Chreag from the wigwams and yurts of Auchtertyre - up the former from the Shieling village and down the latter via Coreheynan. Lovely walk, lovely company, lovely post-hike cafe in the former St Fillan's church. Here's to 2020 and more days like this!summitter31/12/2019
