Path up from the north, nice pointed summit | Topographer57 | 11/11/2023 |
An anti-clockwise round of 5 Tumps from Griffin Forest car park: Creag na Moine Moire, + its S Top, An Cruachan, Meall Creag Airighe and Creag an Achaidh Bhain 
 
From Creag na Moine Moire S Top, via forest roads NW, NE, NNW, past the locked bothy the easily up through mature trees to open summit. Onwards to Meall Creag Airighe. | Minto | 23/07/2022 |
Round of five from Griffin car park. Easy approach from the track near Loch Kennaird, using what looked like MTB trails | Colin Crawford | 09/04/2022 |
Waded up to our hips in the snow to get up this from the NE. Made it seem like a much bigger summit attempt. | summitter | 21/02/2021 |
followed the forestry road to the Loch and took the path up to the left, at the small cottage we took the narrow path/animal track up the steep mossy section and followed the wall, in error. We ended up making slow progress through the trees before we found the actual top. Following the forestry road past the cottage would have been better, and there is a clear path to the open summit on the left, just before the junction to the right. | Nicky C | 02/08/2020 |
This was the easiest of the Griffin lot. A little ATV rough track for a short distance from the forest road to the East. | NormanW | 12/06/2020 |
Cross country via open areas and rides from Meall Creag Airighe. Easy ridge and old track down to north. | daviemore | 07/06/2020 |
