A Big Day From Dalwhinnie

[hildog]

Thanks for the info posted here - it inspired me to take this on!! I did it on Saturday, getting the train to/from Dalwhinnie.

The train timings aren’t ideal, but the train arrive at about 9.20 and I managed (just) to get the 15.54 back. Hard work and the cycle from Ben Alder Lodge to the turn-off down to the Bothy (about 3.5k) was not very good – lots of extra stones/gravel applied in the last week supposedly. The cycle to and from Ben Alder Lodge is brilliant though + weather was nice.

Thanks again for the info provided

wow-you made real good time! Well Done! to be honest when i first looked at the route about 4 weeks ago i thought NO WAY! not in a day but was pleasantly suprised with how much ground you can cover in a relatively short space of time
