Circuit from main road. 1 of 5thekirkie pirate29/05/2023
Parked to N at entrance to windfarm. Circuit of Clach Criche, Carn Dearg, Carn Tarsuinn, Mam a' Chroisg and Beinn an Eoin.PGCE06/04/2023
Traverse from Loch Loyn to Bridge of Oich via the wind farms.tim74716/09/2021
Parked at the large entrance to the wind farm track and Power Station on the A887 west of Mackenzie's cairn. Followed the Beinneun Forest track for about 6km to its highest point south of Clach Criche. Fairly easy bone-dry ground once off the track to the summit cairn, and likewise on to Carn Dearg and Carn Tarsuinn, although may be more difficult in wetter conditions. Continued on to Meall Dubh, which possesses a very fine large cairn close to the summit, then down to the lower Beinn an Eoin. Crags protect its northern slopes, so we went NW towards Allt Ghormaig, crossing a couple of deer fences and newly planted woodland before regaining the initial access track. About 4hrs round.summitter27/08/2021
From entrance to wind farm (NH202074). Carn Ban, Meall Dubh, Carn Tarsuinn, Carn Dearg (both summits) & Clach Criche. Used wind farm roads along with pathless terrain. With Bolton.ger15/07/2021

1 of 2: From the forest gate at Loch Loyne Dam.ChrisR03/12/2007
Cairngorm Club Easter meet, actually held 1 week before Easter. It was based at Spean Bridge Hotel. The weather was not good so spent the morning chatting and drinking coffee. With a fellow member I ascended Meall Dubh, starting near the dam of Loch Loyne. The outward route was via minor tops of Clach Criche, Carn Dearg and Carn Tarsuinn. We then followed fence posts (on boundary). The fence does not go to the summit of Meall Dubh as the boundary does so we found ourselves in the mist having gone too far east. We retraced our steps and reached the summit. We descended a more direct route.pwbellarby09/04/1995
