From the cattle grid. | curlebd | 06/05/2023 |
Solo. | garbo1103 | 16/11/2022 |
With Bob. Second attempt. This time from the wee gate to the east by the cottage. A dull view. | Play2End | 18/09/2022 |
Crossed over from Beinn Mheadhoin. Easy though many young birch growing. From summit dropped down south east flanks. Some boulders hidden in ferns lower down to fall over. Came out at gate in deer fence near river. | Adrian | 06/09/2022 |
parked by cattle grid south of Allt Graic Breabaig. Walked back down road. Through gate into woods, then west through ferns and low vegitation to gully south of summit. Fairly easy slopes, just a lot of greenery this time of year. Back same way. | KeithByTheC | 22/07/2022 |
As others, parked on the grass by the cattle grid. Through the gate, through the woods bearing a bit left to avoid a big patch of bracken, up the ridge to the right of the gully to the summit. Across to the other cairn, then back and down the gully. 1.6miles out about 1hr 15mins. | JulieB | 21/07/2022 |
Good parking just beyond cattle grid at 499128. | LesH | 12/05/2022 |
Via the gully as most others have done. | Peterb | 15/12/2019 |
From minor road to East, with Ellie dog. | BLACKHILL | 13/05/2019 |
Parked at the cattle grid to the east and went through the deer gate just north of the house. Head for the gully which is easy enough. Headed over to the 'old' top. Solo walk of just over the hour. | bolton | 16/02/2019 |
From parking by cattle grid to east. | rhalstead | 19/06/2018 |
Solo, from the east. | amswanston | 25/05/2018 |
From the east, starting at pedestrian gate N of cottage. Easiest route appears to be via a gully that leads up to a col south of main summit. | Topographer57 | 21/04/2018 |
From the east, parked north of the cottage opposite a pedestrian gate into the lovely woods. Through these, a bit of heather bashing into the big gully, and follow grassy deer tracks up the gully. Easy but steep. Turn right at the top for a short stroll to the top, and wonderful views. | Gill | 30/03/2018 |
tick | chazzyboy19 | 28/03/2018 |
Easy ascent from minor road. Great views from the summit. | BigJ | 05/07/2017 |
Parked and route as alda. Sunny, warm, calm and great clear views. | iangalbraith | 26/03/2017 |
2 of 4: From M.an Tarsaid Old Top. | ChrisR | 17/01/2017 |
Last Marylin of 2016. Very wet day, but clear Summit from the obvious large Layby to the north. With Kenny R, Alison Coull, Gillian, Ali. Both summits visited, limited views with low cloud. | N.Morters | 31/12/2016 |
From NH4983613020, where there was room to pull the van off the road behind a passing place. Slow going! Route and write-up at: http://gayleybird.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/meall-tarsaid-creag-and-beinn-mheadhoin.html | Gayle | 16/05/2016 |
Re-visited to make certain both summits done. | richtea5040 | 10/05/2016 |
Parked on minor road due east of summit opposite gate, easy ascent through open birch woods and heather, on top in about half an hour. | alda | 21/03/2016 |
Crossed from the old top to this one whilst there in Feb. It appeared higher so always worth the walk. The two points are so close its odd that the existing records were not automatically updated. | nordicstar | 04/02/2016 |
Snuck through the fence and up through the birch woods. A nice hill. Walked over both tops as they appeared similar heights. | jenx | 04/02/2016 |
see previous for Meall an Tarsaid- hill 652 | Thearlaichdubh | 14/08/2015 |
from the east at glen fechlin over deer fence. | robertphillips | 15/03/2015 |
From Killiechoilum, space for parking near house seemed ok but I couldn't find anyone to ask. From there, a direct way up through newly planted area- so poor going. Visited both tops then found much nicer way down using a landrover track until it disappeared in a sallow and birch scrub filled valley- but always an easy way through. From top, fine view esp. of Monadh Liath | pwheeler | 18/05/2014 |
From WNW, deerfence gate at cattle grid. Revisited both summits. | RHW | 04/05/2014 |
Tough going up through new plantings from the NW. Not recommended! | AndrewFinnimore | 11/08/2013 |
Margaret, raining, hill had loads of holes where new little trees were planted. will be a nightmare in a few years time to climb. Took under 2 hours to do | tallblond | 24/06/2012 |
Log shows we did both north and south tops | Denise | 08/01/2011 |

Ascended from the west. | JohnW | 18/05/2004 |
On verge of narrow farm lane. over sheep pastures to heather and fern areas following sheep and deer trods. Above rocky outbreaks to final steeper slopes to top at 10.40. to t'other. | arranc | 11/07/2002 |
Relocated summit since RHB; fine steep climb, decent rocky hill. 498133, round deerfence, thru birch & outcrops | RHW | 23/12/2000 |
Up and down through birch, that kept the lashing rain off, to the East. Spot height on OS and as to my annotated RHB at the time. | Eddie | 02/12/2000 |
