Decided to take the bikes and cycle this one.
- starting point
- start of the track
Headed up the good track and passed Muir Cottage. Just passed the cottage the road forks. We took the right fork passing a new build, though the gate and headed for the forest.
- new build
We followed the track alongside the Burn of Turret and keeping left and avoiding any right turns on the track.
- the turret burn and bridge if required
- continuing along the track
We left the bikes as the track starting to climb steeply and became full of huge stones and more difficult to cycle.
- never ending track
The track then splits and we continued on the left track and climbed steeply uphill.
The track heads west and then begins to descend. We left it here and headed north downhill and over a stream and followed a fence and stalkers path for 20 minutes and the cut across to pick the path back up at the number 6 - 5 grouse butt.
- where we came back onto the path
- Starting to Struggle heading up the track
We followed the good track again up to the Wester Cairn at 717 and then headed north east to the summit of Mount Battock.
- towards MB
- Summit
- Summit of MB
- Summit views
- Summit
The sun was shining and we therefore sat at the summit for about half and hour and then retraced our steps the exact way we came up. Thought our bikes were gone at one point, but picked them up and back to the car in 3 hours 40 minutes. Most of the cycle was either downhill or on the flat back towards the car.
- cheers
