I left my vehicle in the car park at Dalrigh on the west side of the A82 Crianlarich to Tyndrum Road and set off west along the vehicle track which passed to the north of a large house, went through the trees, under the railway line and into Cononish Glen.
After around an hour I reached Cononish Farm where new fencing, gates and signage had been installed. Just prior to the farm there was a sign for the route to the Graham, Meall Odhar then beside the farm various signs regarding access to the Cononish Gold Mine. Beyond the farm there were several warning signs attached to the new stock fence regarding unauthorised entry to the gold mine.
I continued up the glen passing through gates in a new deer fence. Beyond the second one a signpost indicated the route to the Eas Anie and here I left the track and followed a grassy path north-west below the waterfalls and onto the east ridge of Beinn Chuirn’s South Top.
Here the path disappeared and the gradient eased considerably as I continued up the ridge to reach the summit of this Corbett Top as a light snow shower passed through the area.
A short descent north took me to the col with the main summit then a grassy path beside metal fence posts led to the cairn marking the summit of the Corbett, Beinn Chuirn.
After a break I descended south-east to above the Eas Anie where I had views down to the gold mine.
The descent continued south then later south-east to the gates in the deer fence where I rejoined the vehicle track and followed it back to the start.
