| Parked near the green barn at Corriearklet for a circuit of Stob an Fhainne, Maol Breac a' Bhealaich, Stob a' Choin Dhuibh and Maol Mor. Followed track past barn, then up an ATV track to about 300m. | PGCE | 09/04/2024 |
| Parked just south of the Stronalacher turnoff at a small parking spot (39760 09497 - junction with bike path, room for 3 cars). Cycled to Corriearklet farm and was redirected (in a very helpful manner) to the entrance to the large new shed further west. This gives good access to the cycle path which gives easy walking and access to the shoulder up to Maol Mor. From there are very rough ground circuit of Maol Mor - Beinn a' Choin - Stob an Fhainne - Corriearkle. | sarahk | 01/04/2024 |
| Parked in the entrance to Corriearklet and got onto the Great Trossachs Path north of it by going up the access track and through some overgrown vegetation besides the main house. Next, a wet tramp through long grass, using an ATV track initially, to Garradh and on to the two tops of Maol Mor. Thankfully, the ground got easier as I rose, but the ever-present mist failed to lift - swings and roundabouts! Along the rugged ridge over Stob a' Choin Dhuibh and Maol Breac a' Bhealaich before a final pull to Beinn a' Choin. Returned S via Stob an Fhainne, following an old fence line for most of the way to its summit and on down to the road besides the Loch Arklet dam. Would have been lovely in clearer, drier or icier conditions. | summitter | 12/10/2023 |
| From Stronachlachar pier following Liz H's route. Increasingly deep snow above 500m. The traverse from the trig to the main summit was hard work. | NormanW | 15/01/2023 |
| From Corriearklet up via disused farm (now a home) steeply in thick grass and turf… over deer fence at gate to trig then various further bumps to high point. Misty but brief respite help find the true summit. | N.Morters | 03/12/2022 |

| Parked at Stronachlachar pier. Walked back along the road and onto the path signed to Inversnaid, leaving that fairly quickly to go up through died back bracken, moss and trees, eventually to a gate in a deer fence at NN39059 10622. Through the gate and up onto the shoulder to Maol Mor and on to the summit. (There is also a stile later in the deer fence, beyond Garradh's summit) Pleasant walk on top, and superb views of new snow on higher summits, but a bit of an awkward clamber up initial slopes. | LizH | 19/11/2020 |
| Room for a car in the wide entrance to Corriearklet Farm. ACW round of Corriearklet, ascending - through fairly long vegetation, initially - to Garadh and descending over Maol Odhar. Spent a while finding the highest top of Maol Mor, then over the impressive tooth of Stob a'Choin Dhubh, Meal Breac a'Bhealaich, Beinn a'Choin, steeply down to the peat hags of the bealach and the post and rock summit of Stob an Fhainne. | Nick Down1 | 25/05/2020 |
| New deer fence north of Garradh with stile. Corriearklet Farm now vacant and the folks at the cottage have a no parking sign erected. | hill walker | 16/12/2017 |

| From Stronlachar with 5741, 48, 3972, 3976 & 4580 returning down Glen Gyle. Hard ascent through bracken, boulders with holes under to Garradh (should have kept to the R of the trees). 13.6 miles, 3870' of ascent, 8 hrs 50 mins | Jim.Fothergill | 22/09/2016 |

| I'd walked under it in the snow on 15/02/1997. My map hadn't got this spot height marked so I'd thought the trig point was the highest point. | Alan Moore | 10/06/2011 |
| From Stronachlachar. | Grinner | 22/07/2007 |
| RBS HWC Sunday outing. I walked with Lynn Y, Alan T and dog Meg. Start at Corriearklet farm on the unclassified road which runs along the N of Loch Arklet. Pass the farm and ascend NE up the steep ridge of Maol Mor. At 550m the angle eases as you turn NNW along the ridge to the summit trig point. Descend NW down the hummocky ridge to the Bealach a’ Mheim at 560m then ascend the SE ridge of Beinn a’ Choin. A fence is crossed 200m before the small summit cairn is reached. Descend by the line of the fence to the col before Stob an Fhainne and drop down SW towards the Snaid burn which should be followed S to the farm at Garrison. Turn W or right and walk along the Glen Arklet road for 1½ kms to reach the car park and bus at Inversnaid. | langskill | 26/11/2006 |
