| Staying at OMC Cottage in Crianlarich, with Richard Moore, Nicky Creadland and Gill Short. Parked at gravel parking opposite Coileitir, followed bogged path alongside the Allt Mheuran to the bleacach. Then on to Dtoc Coir'an Albannaich, down to Meall Tarsuinn and ending on Meall nan Eun. The descend from here into Glen Ceiltein was never ending and boggy, but the new hydro track made the final 2miles manageable, 08:30hrs. Munro No's 194 & 195. | chillyman8 | 20/08/2023 |
| From parking opposite start of Coileitir track, up Glen Ceitlein to Meall nan Eun then west to Meall Tarsuinn and Stob Coir an Alnannaich. Crossed 738m beallach and up to Glas Bheiinn Mhor. Returned to lowest point on ridge then steeply north to cross Allt Mheuran and followed it down, fighting through bracken on the last section before reaching the track along the River Etive.

| Coileitir - E bank of Allt Mheuran - col at 738m - Stob Coir' an Albannaich - Meall Tarsuinn - Meall nan Eun - NW 'ridge' - Glen Ceitlein - Coileitir. 12.3 miles, 1320m climb, 7 hours. | Mark Jackson | 20/07/2023 |
| Like others, I had two chances to bag this hill in the past and blew both of them! Consequence was that I had to make an ascent in the heaving rain… Good car park at NN1365546856 opposite the start of the track. A very good track runs to a new dam at NN1623547304 and would be very bikeable. A path leads from there towards the col south of the summit but this peters out with large slabs to walk on. From the south col I went to the summit and then returned the same way. I was lucky but was taken aback by how much the burns had risen during my ascent. In very wet conditions this could be an issue. | BaggerGutt | 27/06/2023 |
| Started off at parking area for Ben Starav. Up the track to the bealach between Glas Bheinn Mhor and Stob Coir an Albannaich and then up steep path to the plateau of Albannaich. The cloud cleared and the rest of the day was warm and sunny with great views with all the hills on show. Bit of snow left on north facing cliffs. Steep descent then over Meall Tarsuinn and on to Meall nan Eun. Descent into Glen Ceitlein was pathless and very rough. Time taken 7 hours 5 minutes for 12.36 miles and 4285 feet of ascent. | isabelle | 01/06/2023 |

| Parked someway past the track to Coileitir in Glen Etive. This was because of the large number of parked cars. Anne painted. I walked on the track to Glenceitlein Farm and then up the path up Glen Ceitlein on the N side of the burn. On recent trips up this glen I had not kept to the path. However, the path, although at times faint, does continue to Coirean Riabhach and beyond. So this time I did follow the path. leaving it quite high up. to ascend directly to the summit of Meall Tarsuinn. This is a Corbett Top. Continued to Stob Coir an Albannaich. | pwbellarby | 15/06/2008 |
