From the cemetery cycled up Glen Shira as far as the locked gate over the Allt an t-Sithein,then on foot over Beinn ant-Sithein, round the corrie and up to this summit before also visiting the East Top sub-Simm. Other summits beckoned but time was against me so back to the bike and car. Total 33.4k of which cycling 22k.NormanW07/04/2023
Parked at the end of Glen Fyne for a circuit of 5 Simms (and 3 other summits) around Beinn Buidhe: Beinn Bhuidhe East Top, Ceann Garbh, Beinn an t-Sithein, Stac a' Chuirn, Beinn Chas.PGCE18/09/2022
From Achadunan car park. Climbed up on the unmarked track just before Glenfyne Lodge. Detoured to Newton Hill summit. Followed track to the end and then contoured(ish) over to the ridge end at Ceann Garbh, then back to Beinn Bhuidhe East Top, Beinn Bhuidhe, Stac a' Chuirn East Top and Stac a' Chuirn. Returned to Beinn Bhuidhe summit and took the path back down before branching off to Meall an Daimh. From there a moorland walk to Beinn Chas and continued to Clachan Hill trig. I then dropped back to the parking which wasn't a recommended route due to steep valley and vegetation! Clear on all summits, good views. Solo.meltdiceburg17/09/2022

cairn, fine view briefly of Cruachan and Bhuidhe. From Meall an Daimh, skirt W below buttresses then up to ridge (in poor vis I hacked up a icy turf gully). 10h (!) c/w circuit from head of Loch Fyne (parking by old bridge): Bhuidhe + Clachan + the GT and 3 CTs. In snowshoes but still heavy going in deepish snow. Track in Glen icy most of the way back. RHW04/12/2010
