Two simple Grahams southwest of Dunkeld with Kids

[WalkingWithKids]

Meall nan Caorach and Meall Reamhar from Amulree near Dunkeld with Kids (10, 13 y/o)

Hill no. 191, 192 - Graham no. 39, 40

I think these are rather easy Grahams. The altitude gain between the parking spot and the summits is not huge, most of the way is on a good track, and the pathless part is easy to walk. The stretch between the tops of the Grahams is a bit steep, but short.

Stats:
Total distance - 9.5 km
Total time - 5h38m
Altitude gain - 340 m

Elevation profile of our route:

We parked just off the A822 south of Amulree at the start of the track to Girron Farm. There is a space for 2-3 cars.
First we walked along the track for about 3.5 km and then pathless to the top of the first Graham Meall nan Caorach. Pathless section was easy, there were plenty of grassy patches to walk on between the heather.

After about half an hour's break we continued to the second Graham. The easiest way was steeply down along the fence to the track in Bealach and then steeply up along the fence to the second summit.

Before climbing the second hill, it was necessary to climb over a fixed gate next to the track.
