Like the idea of a more mobile base for your next Munro?
Fantastic, high quality, heated, 2-4 berth campervans for hire. The perfect winter base: freedom to choose where you go to get the most from the weather, & a cosy base to come back to after a great day on the hill!

The path up from Inverchorachan isn't immediately obvious - certainly in summer because it starts under the cover of thick bracken - and there are LOADS of streams to chose from so the route instructions here 'ascend W by stream' aren't too helpful. So note Richard's advice - the path starts just past the gate after the cottage. And beware - the path is deteriorating in many places and there's a couple of really dodgy, loose and crumbling sections sections above quite significant drops to the stream many metres below.

Good tarmac road right along to bike rack just short of Inverchorachan.Then follow to gate just past the cottage and follow the path up the left side of the river.there is a well trodden path that takes you right to the summit which on a typical wet hill walkin day saves to much navigation then at top return back down the path to Inverchorachan cottage and back along the tarmac road to the car

Surprised how scenic route was, waterfall and summit ridge hidden away at Inverchoranan. Pleasant walk up through bracken past running water then opens out to stunning view. Path not as bad as expected following site comments and returned same way with no problems. Grassy wet path up gully from 700m to main ridge and good path to summit with stunning views of Arrochar and Ben Cruachan. Cycle in on South side via tar road past brewery to awaiting bike rack.

I was pleasantly surprised by this munro. Midweek and a sunny day I took the bike and cycled. Beautiful glen (ignoring the wee power station) and a pleasant walk up through the ferns to the plateau. Pick your own ascent of the final obvious summit and enjoy the views back over the Cobbler, Ime, Narnain & Lomond. I think the weather played a large part but I had a lovely tranquil day on my tod.

Nice day out in the sun. Wish we'd brought the bikes but originally a non-cyclcist was going to be in our party.
Fairly obvious how to get to the summit once the path runs out, a steep but not too taxing scramble on the grass required.
Came back down a different route via the landrover track to the west of Newton Hill, a steep but manageble descent down grassy slopes is required to reach it but preferable to the route along the burn.
