Standard route along Loch a' Bhraoin. Crossed river and then easily but steeply up Beinn Bheag. Steep but easy down to, and up from, bealach to Groban. Descent to NE back to river a bit scrappy and boggy lower down. | benalder284 | 11/11/2023 |
Bheinn Bheag, Groban & Meallan Chuach (including trig) from Loch a' Bhraoin. Big drops between them. A bit warm (27 degrees) so a dip in the loch was required. | sclater | 08/07/2023 |
From layby on the Destitution Road. Track to about one mile past Lochivraon with two fairly heavy showers on the way, then easily forded the stream, then a steady grassy plod to the flat summit area. Cloud base just touching the summit so no views of surrounding hilltops. | Owen B | 21/06/2023 |
Parked on verge of Destitution Road opposite start of track to bothy. 
Biked to bothy, Bein Bheag, (visited all contenders), then onto Groban. 
With PM. | CJM | 19/09/2022 |
Parked in Meds car on Destitution road. Biked along rough road to bothy in 30 minutes. Crossed the river easily to gain the slopes and a steady plod to the summit. Walked all potential high points. With CM. Onwards to Groban. | bolton | 19/09/2022 |
From Groban. Windy, but what a viewpoint! Extensive views in all directions. Descended NE to stalkers path then to bothy and along track to car at head of loch. 14miles, 3100' ascent, 6 hours on the move. | MichaelF | 17/05/2022 |
Bike from destitution road to c1 mile past doss, Beinn Bheag and Groban, back out. | daviemore | 26/04/2022 |
with Rob Wight on a long tiring hot day. Standard walk in and out by Loch a Bhraoin. Sensational views | alexmaclennan | 01/09/2021 |
Walked from track end at Braemore, along Loch a' Bhraoin, past bothy for 1km or so, then up to Groban. Down to Bealach Gorm, then climbed Beinn Bheag. Returned SSW in trackless country, over Meallan Odhar then by stalkers path and decent tracks to Heights of Kinlochewe, then Incheril (benefit from having second car there). Route very similar to No. 312 of Scottish Hill Tracks by Scotways. | willyross | 17/06/2021 |
The usual route along Loch a' Bhraoin, then the path to the river crossing (cairns) then deer tracks easily but steeply up Beinn Bheag. Steep but easy descent to Bealach Gorm on smooth grass, then steep but easy climb to Groban. Sleet and rain at the top on a strong wind but dried up on the way down. Descent is also easy, heading for the river meanders. The newer, upper track around Loch a' Bhraoin gives easier going than the lower track but a lot of up and down. A thorough soaking on the walk out. | Gill | 20/05/2021 |
Walked in from A832 along Loch Bhraoin. Good track for walking; wouldn't advise it for a bike - lots of new deep gravel makes it slow as walking. Together with Groban. | IanHHill | 14/07/2019 |
From A832. Beinn Bheag, Groban, Ceann Garbh Meallan Chuaich (also visiting the trig point), camping on descent. Excellent views into Fisherfield, hot but mostly with cloud cover, and lots of horse flies on return. | RobertP | 06/07/2018 |

From Groban, then cycled back from Lochivraon. Too hot and dry to continue over Rainicn. | Topographer57 | 17/08/2016 |
Parked up on main road and cycled down track to Loch Vroan, along the rough road (walking may have been quicker) to the bothy behind locked lodge. The track extends another half km before becoming wet. Cut up the burn to the Bealach Gorm and climbed Ben Beag and Groban from there, back more direct to the lodge and out. | nordicstar | 01/08/2016 |
The cycling didn't really work for me. Too much gravel washed up from the loch. But after I abandoned the bike it was all ok and some great views into the Fisherfields. | jenx | 01/08/2016 |
From lochivroan - followed path then made a bee-line for slope just past col. Care needed with burn crossings | Buteobuteo | 31/08/2015 |
Bike along loch, terrible track. Drizzled all day, then rained harder. No views from top. | iangalbraith | 24/06/2015 |
A Flaming June day (not!) Cloud at top restricted view and then followed us to Groban. 8 km cycle out (ouch) | elizyanne | 13/06/2015 |
2 of 4: From Groban. | ChrisR | 25/11/2014 |
With Dave Roeder. From road (9:30), bike along Loch a'Bhraoin to 113731 (10:25). Crossed river, up Groban (12:10), then Beinn Bheag (13:30), Creag Rainich (16:00) via watershed & back to bikes (17:30) & car (18:20). Low cloud & light rain, so no views; cleared on descent to glorious evening. Unfit; slow progress. | dbb | 05/06/2014 |
round of 3 groban, beinn bheag, and creag rainich cycled from the road past the loch to the bothy. | robertphillips | 20/10/2013 |
It's a long way with a bad back. Thankfully it is possible to cycle to the the non-MBA bothy (with a toilet, wow). | Martin R | 16/10/2013 |

On solo run from Achnasheen to Braemore. | amswanston | 07/06/2013 |
walked in to stay at Locha'Broin bothy for two nights, reading Nan Shepherds 'The Living Mountain'. Clockwise circuit round Cean Garbh Meallan Chuaich, Groban, Beinn Bheag and though tired then up Corbett Creag Rainich and top. | vegibagger | 28/08/2012 |
Beinn Bheag (NH 084714) & Groban (NH 099709) S/F NH 162760 Carried dingy from road to loch then paddled to far end for 2 night camp. Overcast for majority of day with sun in late afternoon. Cloud base >3000' giving spectacular views of Munros. Bothy totally transformed, now has flush toilet! | John Young | 01/08/2012 |
with Grobhan, a good day out; potentially great views; 4hrs 15 | dmckeith | 17/06/2010 |
Solo | HFB | 30/12/2008 |
From main road with 800' start, on track to east end of Loch A'Bhraoin, another long mile past the bothy on WDP to cross the river at a cairn and up over rough dry ground to top at 12.20. Ptarmigan - lowest I've seen. East top higher but beautiful views from west top. to Groban | arranc | 14/06/2007 |
With Ken | fergie | 18/08/2001 |
fine steep dry grassy hill; great view. Incheril clockwise via Hts of Kinlochewe; lift down with estate worker | RHW | 21/04/2000 |
