From loch Turret carpark . Path . TrigDenise 05/03/2024
Parked at Loch Turret Car Park, started up the east side of the loch to Ben Chonzie, then back down the west side of the loch to Carn Chois and then back to the dam. 18km in 5 hours.SootAndShale02/07/2023
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
Carn Turret, its SW Top, and then Carn Chois from the reservoir carpark.summitter16/05/2023
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.RobertP11/12/2022
From Glen Turret dam car park, over the dam to “enjoy” the heavy rain. Bailed out after the summit!BaggerGutt15/11/2022
From Loch Turret car park, across the dam and followed easy path with gradual ascent to Carn Chois, Meall na Seide and Ben Chonzie. Steep and wet descent around north of Lochan Uaine and long walk back along track to east of Loch Turret.TRG31828/08/2022
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

Parked at car park by the Loch Turret Dam. Up and across the dam and followed the track to about NN 811 269, then up and over Beinn Liath and onto Carn Chois. Descended by the main path down to the track. Pleasant walk and good views.LizH23/08/2020

Great walk. Path all the way. Shame it was misty no view. Took us about 6 hours (not the fittest so took longer than most)Sonja8903/01/2019
A lot of wind in the forecast so opted for this short straight up and down day from Loch Turret damn. In the end wind was not so strong so could have managed a full day.dickscroop31/12/2018
