Loch Turret cp, along E side of loch then up S slope of A Chairidh on pleasant short grass. A bit boggy after all the rain. Up into mist to small cairn. E then SE descent and climb up Auchnafree, mainly easy going but tricky navigation in mist. S descent and track past Gilberts burn then E to non existent track, though areas had easier walking. To Choinneachain then narrow path NE round Blue Craigs and up Stonefield Hill. Some peat hags. Descent via interesting stepped cairn to track to just before Barvick Burn. Small path SE to track and easy path S to Barvick Trig. Same back to contouring track to cp. 25km, 800m climb. Finally mist cleared about 4:30pm. | Lynnebe | 20/03/2024 |

Round of BM and A'Chairich from Loch Turret CP. | Topographer57 | 07/11/2023 |
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. | richard69 | 30/04/2023 |
Parked at Turret Dam, track along to a minor track that climbs into the Allt Baltair. After this ends, the sheep have forged a delightful path up the gorge, full of waterfalls, lovely. Joined another track on Ton eich, ascended auchnafree hill, then A Chairidh, returning along the turret track. | hils | 31/03/2023 |
Bike in along the loch and walk up the southern side of the hill. Grassy and very easy. | fasgadh | 25/02/2023 |
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. | BaggerGutt | 16/11/2022 |
