After a previous failed try from the S with Martin66, a more determined solo attempt on Alder/Bheoil succeeded from Rannoch. Used trainers on track as far as 1st bridge at S end of Loch Ericht. Changed into boots & on to Ben Alder Cottage for quick breather then up to Bealach Breabag. Sron Bealach Beithe & Alder first then back to the col & over Sron Coire na h-Iolaire to Bheoil. Back to the bealach & back by the route of ascent. The extra weight of the trainers was definitely worth it for comfort in the walks in & out. | NotReallyABagger | 28/08/2001 |
