| With Alasdair after Meall na Fearna. | duchally | 13/03/2024 |
| Followed the Glen Vorlich track up to about 550m, heading towards the col from about 480m, rather than the line of the path. Continued towards the col N of the hill, then up to the summit. Good views down towards Gleann an Dubh Choirein. Returned to the col and on to Beinn Domhnuill. | LizH | 03/09/2023 |
| Last of 8 sims between Dundurn clubhouse and bicycle left at Ardvorlich. The Glen Vorlich path shown on map is now a JCB track up to about elevation 500m, then the JCB track turns left up the mountain and there is hardly any trace left of any of what used to be a track or path to Glenartney above this level. | Topographer57 | 01/09/2023 |
| Parked at Ardvorlich and followed the track up to the bealach between Glen Vorlich and Gleann an Dubh Choirein. Then steeply up by the fence posts, turning off to Meall na Fearna and across the peat hag col and up to Meall na Fearna. Back tracked across to Beinn Domhnuill. Thus far all in the mist. Would have been tricky navigation in the days before gps and OS maps on the phone. For the rest of the day the sun came out, so easy, visiting Creagan an Lochain, Black Craig, Meall Reamhar, and Meall nan Saighdearan. Then dropped down Fin Glen and back along the road to Ardvorlich. No issues with peat hags and bogs due to dry weather. 22km with 1260m ascent taking 8.5 hours. | silveracorn_alan | 05/06/2023 |
| From Ardvorlich via track, path and pathless to Beinn Domhnuill (superb views), Meall na Fearna and back via West Top and Bealach Gliogarsnaich. With FY & PR, great day out. | TRG318 | 30/11/2022 |

| Circuit from Ardvorlich. | thekirkie pirate | 14/07/2022 |
| Very convoluted ridge walk from St Fillans to Ardvorlich. Spent a lot of time avoiding peat hags filled with deep soft snow. | daviemore | 27/02/2022 |
| Parked in Glen Artney church car park for a round of 12 Simms and 1 HF to the N and NW. 9/13 | PGCE | 18/05/2021 |
| Beinn Domhnuill, Meall na Fearna West Top (and the East Top of the West Top for good measure), Meall na Fearna, Creagan an Lochain and Black Craig from Ardvorlich, cutting North of Creagan an Lochain and descending to the bridge on the Ardvorlich track. Slow going between tops, especially with snow in the peat hags, recompensed by great views in all directions. | Nick Down1 | 28/02/2021 |
| After Domhnuil, boggy col but easy. Could hear voices from top of Vorlich which was hoaching. Bike stashed at hydro weir so short boggy descent before a fun drop down to Ardvorlich. | fasgadh | 22/08/2020 |
| 3rd of 4 Simms from Ardvorlich, contouring beneath Vorlich from Creagan nan Gabhar. | NormanW | 14/01/2019 |
| Meall na Fearna and tops from Ardvorlich. Creagan an Lochain (twin tops, S considered higher), Beinn Domhnuill, camped overnight before Meall na Fearna W Top, and summit of Meall na Fearna. Descended NW into Glen Vorlich and rejoin ascent route. | RobertP | 13/08/2017 |
| 13 top round starting stuc gharbh finishing beinn fuath from glen artney, biked up the glen for first 6 km. | robertphillips | 21/05/2017 |
| A big day from tent up track from head of Glen Artney. A round of the horseshoe including Meall na Fearna, the Graham Creag na h-Eararuith and 13 graham tops. Had hoped for some bounding along on grassy ridges but only got those towards end, the rest a bit messy with peat hags, numerous bumps and tops with multiple claimants to be the high point. had some issues with the forest in crossing to south side, now partly felled and I thought I could work through the felled section on what looked like a track from above. Always a mistake, should have gone round west end as originally planned.A good day nonetheless. | dickscroop | 31/07/2016 |
