- Turn off from the A9
Took the turn off for Trinafour on the A9 and turned left and parked up on a grassy verge on the right hand side.
- Parking spot
- Crossing the A9
Started the walk at 920am. Headed back up onto the A9. Crossed the A9 and picked up a track heading left signposted for the Public Footpath to Gaick Pass to Speyside.
- Speyside Way
The track continues into the woods with a slight incline. I stayed on the left track as the track splits.
- looking back to the forest
Once through the forrest the track splits again. Here take the right split and continue along the track, passing through a gate and soon passing a huge cairn on the left hand side.
- take the right split after the forrest
- through the gate
- Schehallion. Looking back
- Cairn
The track descends slightly and I passed by a small derelict house on the left.
- derelict cottage
I continued on the track and headed over the first bridge over the Edendon Water and continued along the track and cycled over a second bridge. The track continues and crosses over a concrete bridge.
- 1st bridge
- 2nd Bridge. Dooterbang youd need to turn back here :(
- An Dun on the right
- 3rd Bridge
- happy camper
The track continues to Sronphadruig Lodge. Here I left the bike down on the stones next to the river as I decided to cross the river and follow the track to the west side of An Dun rather than continue along the boggy path.
- The Lodge
It took me a wee while to try and cross the river at the shallowest part. I decided to take my boots off and wade across.
- An Dun
- ice water challenge - take two
Boots back on at the other side and followed the track up to the bridge. Headed across this towards the west side of An Dun.
- the bridge atthe bottom of An Dun
- Looking back to Schehallion
I headed east and steeply up heathery ground and soon picked up a path heading north towards An Dun. I gained the plateau of An Dun in no time at all as it was quite steep. Looking back there were some nice views towards Schehallion and beyond
I continued to head north to the first cairn and then further north to the true summit of An Dun.
- first cairn
- Summit of An Dun
I took a quick summit picture and had a wee short stop to refuel. I took a bearing and headed northeast down extremely steep ground, which involved a mixture of heather, grass and found a screeey path on occasions. I headed down in the direction and aimed for the Loch an Dun.
- View towards A'Chaoirnich
- Loch an Dun
At the north of the Loch I crossed the Allt Lochan Duin and headed east straight up steep steep heathery ground. This was really tough going especially as it was pathless most of the way. I kept south of the stream and on occasions found some stalkers paths which made the ascent slightly easier.
I continued north and found the huge cairn on the summit of A’Chaoirnich. I stopped here to have my second sandwiches of the day. Took some summit pictures and then quickly remembered reading that this wasn’t the true summit.
So headed north along the plateau and found the true summit in 10-15 minutes. I stopped here for a picture and then headed south. Passed the huge cairn again and then south west along the plateau, picking up stalkers paths on occasions.
Once the lodge came back into view I headed west down steep ground towards the fence at the edge of the forest and followed this back up to the reach the track. Picked up the bike from the stones next to the river and nearly died when i seen a huge dead deer right next to it . Back on the bike and along the track, coming off at one point to talk to the camper who had just clicmbed the two corbetts and was walking out. Back to the car in 5hours 40 minutes.
Bit of a shock though when you got back to your bike 
- cheers 
If theres a track, my bikes with me 
Give me the bike any day Pete
