Good parking at junction to NNW, walked hydro road for 150m then easy calf deep crossing, after 100m would probably be optimal. W outcrop 0.3m higher, hand level. Cool dry morning, first bag of a 1 month tripRHW04/05/2023
Low flow so the bonus of dry feet. Then a heather and bracken traipse to the top.summitter08/03/2023
From car park to NW. Over Craig Leven first then on to here crossing Achray Water at NN 4978 0659, a calf-deep wade. All the ground is awkward, steep up; unexpected drops hidden by high bracken; lots of bilberry and heather; some clear old and rotten fell; all wet from overnight rain and more sustained and heavy rain on the walk. 2 options for the top, I favoured NN 50113 06529, with an exposed outcrop 25m W that may be as high, but no viz between the 2. Recrossed the Water ~160m ENE of my first crossing point; knee deep here.jonglew10/08/2021
Splashed across the river at 49925 06666. Rough terrain thereafter with some bracken, leftover brash, and some new tree planting. I made the summit 50114 06529. Returned the same way, and to the car at Loch Katrine car park (parking restrictions are in force along stretches of the public road).NormanW20/07/2021
From the pier head car park after Craig Leven. Car park at start of dam road was closed. Crossed the river dry-shod just west of some wooden crash barriers at side of road. This is probably 2-300m further west than the dam sign, and uses a series of rocky ribs. Slightly easier going following overgrown drainage ditches. On my return I somehow managed to paddle across the river right to the dam sign. 65 mins for both round trip over quite rough terrain.Minto15/07/2021
From junction of Loch Katrine and Ben Venue single tracks. Splashed across the Achray Water at the Loch Katrine dam sign, then wove through heather and fallen trees to the summit rock and to the adjacent ridge of trees and bilberry for the view over Loch Achray.Nick Down119/04/2020
p small cp along private track, across river at loch katrine dam sign, up through heather to the top.robertphillips27/11/2018
Easy dry crossing at NN 54990 04467. Bracken and heather thereafter.Campbell Singer27/07/2018
Couldn't find a dry shod crossing despite 3 weeks without rain. Shallowest bit I could find was immediately behind a Loch Katrine Dam sign on Ben Venue road. Hill has had felling and replanting. 1 hour return trip from carpark.Thearlaichdubh12/05/2017
Cross river from NW just after river splits.Dry shod on rocky steps.bjewing27/11/2016
Same way as Ken, a fallen tree acting as a handy bridge over the burnColin Crawford08/10/2015
