I walked these Corbetts last Friday starting from Ceannacroc. I parked on the verge immediately after turning off the A887 (theres space for two or three cars on the left where the road turns up to the SSE facility). I cycled up the track on my hybrid bike and the surface, with a few skeleton-jiggling exceptions, was fine. I chained the bike up to a small bridge at the first of the two hydro buildings. I followed the landy track up into Gleann Fada and crossing the weir at about 400m I was pleasantly surprised to find the track continued all the way up to Bealach an Amais at 650m despite it not being marked on the OS maps. It meant very good progress all the way to Aonach Shasuinn. On my way back to the bike from Carn a Choire Ghairbh I skirted Loch a Choinich and dropped down to the 700m saddle to the west of Beinn an Iomaire. If you drop straight down into Coire Mheadhoin from the saddle you'll pick up another umarked, rough landy track that'll take you all the way back to the hydro buildings (if that's where you leave your bike). A thoroughly lovely alternative to the Affric approach. Hope you have a good day out.
