Had planned to walk from the Old Bridge of Tilt, but with the excellent weather and very dry conditions, it was just possible to take my road bike - with care and reduced tyre pressure - up a stony track to around 600m, and then return on it via another stony track. This 25km on the bike saved me around five hours of walking and left a short, fast ascent up a small but well defined path, to the summit of this normally pretty inaccessible Munro. What is normally a 7-8 hour Munro walk was therfore done in just over four hours.
