I see you've been taking it easy on your hols :lol: I read the other report yesterday, didn't have time to respond. Nice to see you dragging the offspring along.

That looks a nice cycle and walk. Always find cycling out a great buzz. On the topic of cycling...I did the Strathaven 50 this morning, nearly killed me :lol: You not fancy one of these events, I know you like a cycle?

An interesting way into the great emptiness to reach Beinn Bhreac. :) ..my own way to get to Bhreac was a double topping out on Beinn Dearg.
Have been by bike roughly in your area a couple of times using bikes. On an old touring bike out from Kingussie in 1980, left it on the flats above Feshie Lodge, to get to Carn an Fhidleir and An Sgarsach with a return over upper Geldie and down the Feshie to regain the bike. Later in the days of early off road bikes I had the use of a M Fox bike to reach your ruined building then an uphill push to Leathad an Taobhain. On that occasion I just kept going on the Minigaig trail down to Bruar Lodge. Tilt, Geldie and return via the Feshie.

The ruined building....hasn't changed much in over twenty years.

Nice one :D
Looked like a tough walk
We loved our bike hike in this area a few weeks ago, can't really remember the hills (mostly uninspiring) but love the remoteness of the area and Glen Feshie is stunning 8)

That's a serious day's walking and cycling in a remote area. But not featureless - moraines, hare, cairns, lochans.

I recall a trip report in a book of someone doing a high level ski from Fort William to Glen Avon and this area, specifically Gaick, being the toughest.

Some effort RH :clap: :clap:

Having seen your route to BB I'm glad I did it on foot from Calvine - a long long way but easier underfoot conditions.

Done it on Monday , as had a road accident on way up to Feshie, damaged my bike and rack, had to go somewhere else . Great route! One thing was going to check with you the track on os map after the last peak does not exist, managed to push the bike through the plants though . Thanks again for the great report !
