Started from the layby after the B8074 junction, cycling the road and taking the track for Succoth. We continued straight ahead at all junctions till another track turned left higher up. We took this track and left the bikes before taking the fence line to the trees. We climbed the fence and made our way to Meall nan Gabhar before returning to the fence to climb Beinn Bhalgairean. Rather than walk around the trees we spotted a small section while heading back to the fence. Decided to take a chance getting through the trees and the gamble paid off as we had no difficulty getting through. Once through it was a fairly easy walk to the second Graham, firstly heading for a gate then a small climb up the ridge to the summit. We returned to the bikes and 15 mins later were back at the car. It took about 1 hour to get the bikes up the track so well worth the effort for the freeride back down.
