Big day taking in all the Aonach Beag ridge and Ben Alder group. | Geoff Briggs | 30/05/2023 |
Parked at the underpass at south end of dam. Bike to just past Culra then around Coire na Lethchois to Ben Alder, Sron Bealach Beithe, Sron Coire na h-Iolaire and Beinn Bheoil. Sadly no views above 800m despite 70% chance of cloud-free Munros. | TRG318 | 18/05/2023 |

Ben Alder and Beinn Bheòil from Dalwhinnie with Harrison, John and Johhny. Sketchy ride into/out from Culra due to ice on the track, and we couldn't find a good spot to cross the Allt a'Bhealaich Bheithe (fairly heavy flow and ice-covered rocks) we opted to just head up to Bealach Breabag and hit Ben Alder from that side, then back down and up Beinn Bheòil - John and Johhny headed back down to Culra after Ben Alder, while Harrison and I continued on with Beinn Bheòil via Sron Coire na h-Iolaire. It was getting dark by the time Harrison and I returned to the bikes, and the ice on the stretch back up to the road was even worse than the morning, so we ended up walking out on that stretch - cycled back to Dalwhinnie from there, by head torch (and my bike's front light) but had to take it slow due to frequent ice patches. Total time ended up being 9h 48min. Tiring day out, but glad to get these done! | mproudfoot | 18/12/2021 |

Three fantastic days in the Ben Alder forest (wilderness), bagging three Munros (that’s now 120 out of 282) and two Munro Tops. 
05/08/20: I cycled in from Dalwhinnie along the north side of Loch Ericht past Loch Pattack to Culra Bothy, where I met Alec McBride. 
06/08/20: Me and Alex followed the WalkHighlands route info for Ben Alder, but couldn’t find somewhere suitable to cross (for me to be confident enough to cross) the Allt a’ Bhealaich Bheithe, so we hiked up to the saddle and approach the 1st Munro from the south. The views from Ben Alder (1148m) were stunning south and west across Rannoch Moor. This was followed by the Munro Top of Sron Coire na h-lolaire (956m) then the second day’s Munro of Beinn Bheoil (1019m). Dry all day with some mist blocking the views of Ben Nevis, in all other directions bright blue skies, 09:30hrs all in. Alex hiked out after this, I stayed another night in the Culra Bothy. 
07/08/20: I headed up Carn Dearg (1034m) directly from Culra Bothy, thankfu | chillyman8 | 06/08/2020 |
