Wasn't going to do a report since its a repeat, but there was a notice at the car park about erosion on the track for Ben Vrackie before the fork with Bealach na Searmoin. The track is still open, but not advised for bikes and horses. Given the popularity of the route and it being on the Pitlochry Path network I guess there is likely to be some repairs done in the near future.

The rest of the route is fine, forgot just how many steps there were from the lochan up to the summit!
