Parked at the side of the road along Loch Rannoch north side on B846, many parking spaces along the lochside have been blocked with boulders, but there is one just west of the right of way past Annat, where 3 or 4 cars could be left. Cycled up the track past Annat, very muddy, and I use the term mud advisedly, there were a great number of highland cows around. Then had to push the bike around the sides of some fields before reaching the woodland where the path improved. Met a fellow walker on the track who was planning the same hills as myself and had a brief chat before cycling on to the bothy at Duinish for a nosy. Returned to the highpoint of the track and headed off east to the top of Greag a' Mhadaidh, returning to the highpoint and heading west to the more satisfying pointy top of Gualann Sheileach, returning to the bike at the highpoint and headed off south down the track, the going underfoot was remarkably firm. Again met up with fellow walker on the track and after exchanging thoughts on the hills, took the track heading more directly to the lochside by Craiganour lodge, finished with a cycle along the B846 to the car. No photos as the cloud level remained at 450-550 m all day. Cannot upload gpx just now as bad request is showing on walk highlands
