There is limited parking on both sides of the bridge over the Allt Mhoille on the B8077 soon after the turn off the A85 at the head of Loch Awe signed for Stronmilchan. From here walk along the road away from the A85 for a very short distance and turn left along a gated track marked Castles Estate Farm Track, near some pine trees. Follow the track, keeping left at a fork. Bear left when the track divides and the way ahead goes through a gate leading to Castles Farm. Go through a gate and start heading uphill on the track.The track climbs on an easy gradient before descending slightly to cross the Allt Lairig lanachan. Soon afterwards at a junction take the track to the right and continue for a short distance until the least steep section of the ridge above is reached. Turn left to climb up the grassy slope in a north-west direction, there is a faint path which becomes clearer as the ridge becomes more defined. Eventually the main ridge is reached Follow the narrow path west along the ridge, climbing past a rocky outcrop before a more gentle section of ridge before the final pull up the grassy slope to the summit of Beinn a'Chochuill at 980 metres. From here retrace your steps along the ridge and at the point where you joined the ridge continue eastwards, along the grassy ridge, towards the bealach Lairig lanachan at 728m.Here the whole route up Beinn Eunaich can be seen, a straightforward ascent on a grassy and stone slope with a faint path. Begin the descent by heading directly for the head of Loch Awe, south from the summit cairn. The ridge is grassy and fairly broad. In dry weather the going is good with springy turf underfoot, there is a faint path. Keep following the ridge. The route crosses a couple of peat hags and shortly after the path bears right to head southwest down very steep ground. It may also be possible to continue a little further along the ridge and descend the slightly less steep ground, however there are crags which mean you have to come off th
