If you are like myself and believe roads are for driving or cycling along then this is definately one you will want to do on a bike. I started from Bridge of Ericht where the private raod starts and an hour and a bit on the bike gets you to a small marker cairn at the high point of the private road and from there it's 30mins walk to the summit. The summit rewards you with fine views and has various rocks around it which make good lunch spots as well as giving a bit of shelter if required. I had lunch at the summit before returning to the bike and an easy cycle back to the car.

Thanks for the photos, when I climbed a few weeks ago I couldn't see a bloody thing!

Fabulous cycle though.
