| Traverse from Loch Loyn to Bridge of Oich via the wind farms. | tim747 | 16/09/2021 |
| 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. | summitter | 27/08/2021 |
| From NNE, after Chroisg, approx beeline with contouring, but NB first burn crossed is in a ravine around 600m, easy crossing above. 2 cairns of similar height. Drizzle, high winds, low clouds, descent E then NNE awkward in steep deep wet slippery heather. Forest/windfarm road at 270m led back to layby. | RHW | 21/05/2021 |
