With John, from car park off the B846 by Loch Rannoch, 1.5km east of the track to Corrievarkie Lodge. On mountain bikes along B846 to the start of the track and then over 14km and 450m of ascent on the track up to a high point of almost 640m. Locked up the bikes and ascended around 220m up the rough grassy, boggy terrain to the corbett summit. Great views over Loch Ericht to the Alder range. Descended back to the bikes and descended back down the track back to the B846 and 1.5km along back to the car park. Total times were Ride-in: 1h 35m; On foot: 57mins including stop on summit; Ride-out: 45min.mproudfoot22/07/2023
Long walk - almost completely on tarmac - from car park on Loch Rannoch near Power Station. Great panorama from the summit. (Took just under 7 hours - but we're in our 70's).RobB07/06/2023
Long e-bike approach, then relatively short climb to summit from the top of the road. Fantastic views of Loch Ericht, Ben Alder and much more.langskill02/06/2023
From Bridge of Ericht, as others.iangalbraith02/05/2023
Solo cycle from Bridge of Ericht. Excellent track for MTB. Straight forward ascent to summit. Excellent views of Ben Lawers and beyond. Return via same route.John Lee13/09/2022
Came over from Beinn Bhoidheach and Glas Mheall Mor to the tarmac road . Up to the summit on easy angled grass slopes. A very long walk back to Dalnaspidal Lodge. I wouldn’t recommend this route; best to cycle in from Bridge of Ericht. Solo.Dangerous Dave28/08/2022
MMC wwalk. Cycled 15k in on the scrappy gravel/ tarmac road to the top of the road then a short 1k moorland walk to the summit trig/ rock. Great views. 32k, 700m, 3 1/2 hours.alexmaclennan17/07/2022

Easiest parking by power station at NN532583. There are locked gates on the track on the RHS of the power station. Therefore Bike to gate at NN522582. Main gate is padlocked but side gate on RHS is OK. Track starts a bit gravelly but improves, eventually becoming a good tarmac road!BaggerGutt06/06/2021
solo weather fine, bike from Bridge of ErichtTamCollie16/05/2021
From Bridge of Ericht. Lifted the road bike over the fence at the entrance to the estate not realising there was a gate for pedestrians / cyclists to the right. 1 hour 30 up on the bike. As far as the dam the tarmac road surface is frequently potholed with loose chippings, after that much better. OK on a road bike with care. 1 hour 15 walking out and back from the bealach including a decent break to admire the great views. Got a bit carried away on the way down and got a puncture not far from the dam, even so it was only 55 minutes down. Passed a number of pick up vehicles, explained to the driver of one of them (obviously a stalker) where I was going and he was very polite and ok with it.Owen B23/09/2020

On TGO Challenge. Magnificent views along Loch erichtColin Crawford15/05/2018
From tent near footbridge up estate track at GR 524640. Sron a Chlaonaidh, then an unexpectedly undulating ridge which might have been more interesting in better visibility - in clioud and drizzle all the way to Carn Dearg and on to Stob an Aonaich Mhor. Not straightforward route finding winding between various bumps in consistent cloud. Deserved a better day, got just the odd glimpse of Loch Ericht. Had planned longer two day trip with bivi bag but deterred by continuous cloud and wet so gave it best and returned down track to tent.dickscroop17/06/2017
With M, staying in Blair Atholl. Hired bikes. Long cycle from Loch Rannoch, made harder by taking wrong track and having to carry bikes. Easy walk at end, wonderful view down Loch Ericht. Very cold and windy with some snow at top.douglas_easton27/04/2017
This hill is a must do, but save it for good weather, because the views from the top are superlative. It's a very fast and easy tick, but hugely enjoyable nonetheless. The bike ride up the tarmac road is dead easy, and there's an easy grassy line up to the summit following a small stream, just before the road reaches the watershed. All bogs avoidable. The bike descent is very fast and very enjoyable.Gill02/04/2017

Solo. From Bridge of Ericht I walked/jogged up the tarred track leading to Coire Bhachdaidh Lodge and nearby power station. Eventually left the track to head for Stob an Aonaich Mhòir. I saw a green lizard at about 700m. Continued to Creag na h-Iolaire and Carn Dearg before rejoining the tarred track. After 1 ½ km left the track to take the path going S and SE. I left this path to follow Allt Gaochan an t-Seilich. At weir I followed the track beside the aqueduct and from pipeline direct to starting point. It was dry all day apart from a few light snow flurries and rain which started right at the end (and continued heavily in the evening). There were very good views from summit of Schiehallion, Ben Lawers, Ben More, Buachaille Etive Mòr etc, all with a fair amount of snow. There were only a few patches on my hills.pwbellarby13/05/1995
