This was an attempt to do 2 Munros in 2 seperate locations in the 1 trip.
Left home at 06:48, arrived 07:55, 103m, travelled via A9 to just north of Pitlochry and then to Kinloch Rannoch, parked on grass verge about 100m past East Tempar farm. Set off 08:05, headed further east, climbed wall into wood and up through wood to emerge onto open hillside and picked up quadbike track from farm, followed this for 1hour and then turned up onto hillside and a steady climb towards the top. Nice dry day, warm and bright, got increasingly windy as got closer to top. Very windy on top, no cloud, great views. 10:00.
Headed down more towards NW, picked up quadbike track and followed all the way down through farm to road and back to car for 11:15
3h10m, 879m ascent, 5.62m/9.05km.
Headed west along south shore of Loch Rannoch to climb Meall Buidhe.
Just over bridge over the Allt Camghouran turned left up private road. Parked beyond house at sign 'path to hills' 11miles.
12:00 Cycled up path over 2 deer gates, continued along path to gate at edge of forest at foot of Meall an Stalcair, 13:00.
Chained up bike and walked up path, continued beyond trees and when path ended crossed over burn. 13:45.
Decided too far left still to go so turned back. Back at car for 14:45.
15:00 left for home, 94m, home for 17:35.
208m trip. Using bike saved lots of time. 45 min on way in and 60 min on way back.
