After Ben Chonzie, snowy descent, then small ascent. Grass covers outcrop in a little snow. Whole round from Glen Turret carpark with Richard.Denise 05/03/2024
Round of BM and A'Chairich from Loch Turret CP. BM summit best approached from due east, direct approach from SE may encounter mossy scrambling.Topographer5707/11/2023
From Turret Dam car park up E slope of Carn Turret on faint track. Rougher over to Carn Turret SW top. Picked up good path near fence to Carn Chois & on to Ben Chonzie. Obvious path up & down Biorach a Mheannain. Steeply down to NE reservoir track back to dam. 20km 868m climb on very dry ground in warm sun.Lynnebe14/06/2023
From Loch Turret reservoir car park. CW circular walk to Carn Chois - Ben Chonzie - Biorach a Mheannain - A'Chairidh - Auchnafree Hill. In cloud most of the day from the car park, with some rain coming later than forecast. Mostly cleared up by final descent so some views back up the valley. Good paths to Chonzie then largely free format thereafter - old remaining fence posts a useful handrail at times. Steep descent back down to reservoir. With Gillian.richard6930/04/2023
Route over Ben Chonzie in ideal winter conditions from Glen Turret. Snow and sunshine, cold temperatures. Parked near water works as road slippery with snow beyond that point. Walk to dam then across and followed path NW before heading up to ridge and climbing Carn Chois. Continued along ridge, camping by top of Meall na Seide. Continued to Ben Chonzie, then Biorach a' Mheannain, descent NE from summit then S to reach Loch Turret and track back to reach access road.RobertP12/12/2022
Parked by the dam and biked in to NN796300. Then did a clockwise circuit of the five Simms. Despite the rain yesterday all the streams crossing the track to the head of the glen we passable. Made a return dog leg up the steep SE slopes of Biorach a’ Mheannain. Followed round remaining 4 Simms and the made use of the track on the west of the massif back down to my bike. 25km.BaggerGutt16/11/2022
11.9 mile circular from Loch Turret dam car park. Followed track shown on map along south shore of reservoir, this turns into an easy-to-follow trail all the way to the top of Carn Chois, followed ok slightly boggy path along the broad ridge to Ben Chonzie then descended north-east onto Biorrach a' Mheannain. We avoided steep drop and contoured down to pathless Moine Bheag picking up good track along opposite side of reservoir. Only saw a few other people all day. Sunny but hazy as there was no wind but the views of the snow-capped Lawers range were great. Snow patches still about and hard to avoid when descending Ben Chonzie. 921 m ascent.DanTrig21/03/2022

Lots of mountain hares. I approached from the NE from Newton Bridge where I left my Honda C70. I had hoped to use my motor bike up Glen Almond, but there was a locked gate at Newton.langskill19/07/1975
