| From the campsite at Beinglas. Brutal initial path at the back of the campsite before levelling out to follow the path alongside Ben Glas Burn and then handrailing a tributary up to Lochan a Chaisteil. Wonderful spot for a break or swim at the base of the craig forming the SW side of Ben Glas. Easier route up on NE side, then along to Stob Creag an Fhithich, Stob Garbh Bhealach, Meall nan Tarmachan W & main Tops and Beinn Chabhair. Descent along the usual direct path to BC via Lochan Beinn Chabhair to the campsite. Very hot day with 360deg views. With Gillian | richard69 | 28/05/2023 |
| Verge parking at NN 3204 1988 for a circuit of 15 summits. Track to the Ben Glas Burn. 13/15 | PGCE | 26/04/2023 |
| 5 Simms, a Tump and a couple of subbies. Ben Glas, Stob Creag an Fhithich, Meall nam Tarmachan West Top, Meall nam Tarmachan, Parlan Hill and Cruach. Parked Drovers Inn. Path steeply up from Beinglas farm to, flatter ground and hydro roads. Care need from Stob Creag an Fhithich. | Minto | 11/03/2023 |
| The usual Beinglas starting point. Once above the wooded hillside we headed up the rugged SW slopes of Meall Mor nan Eag to its summit, before seemingly touching every hillock between there and Beinn Chabhair, including the notables of Ben Glas, Stop Creag an Fhithich, Stob Garbh Bhealach and the Meall nan Tarmachan peaks. Once over the Munro it was down to Creag Bhreac and across the beallach to the English sounding Parlan Hill. Returned NW to the Ben Glas Burn and the tourist path to Beinn Chabhair. A bar in the campsite car park provided ample reward for our efforts. | summitter | 29/04/2022 |
| 3/7 Walked up from a good track just at the start of the rise up Glen Falloch. This brought us more easily to the waterfalls in Ben Glas Burn, then on up to the Munro. On way back we took in the tops of Meall nan Tarmachan, Meall nan Tarmachan West Top, Stob Garbh Bhealach, Stob Creag an Fhithich (Ptarmigan seen here), Ben Glas and Meall Mor Nan Eag. All this ridge gave very interesting route finding, twisting around the turns of the crags. Just when you thought there was no way, an easy grass slope would appear, just delightful. Really enjoyed the walk out so much better than just trudging back down. First cuckoo near the bottom. | nickywood1 | 25/04/2022 |

| Last Munro before moving south for work. Parked at the Drovers on a showery & windy day with Martin66 & Chris T. The usual route skirting the farm & on over the tops to an increasingly wild & windy summit. Soaked. Walking kit wasn't up to it! Back to the Drovers to dry out. | NotReallyABagger | 29/12/1987 |
