Gordon and I are planning to do these hills on Saturday. Probably staying in a bunkhouse on Friday/ Saturday. Gordon needs to be back by 1100 on Sunday. Planning to take bikes and have room for three.

Anyone else? Andy Rae has first refusal.

I`ve done them twice,once from Glen Feshie in February and once from Linn of Dee in April.

From Linn of Dee George and I cycled in and dumped the bikes across the river from Geldie Lodge.Crossing the river means you will probably get wet feet unless you are lucky :D
From there we headed out to the Corbett of Beinn Bhreac and then came back over the two Munros.This was a day trip from Glasgow and we didn`t get back until near midnight.

If you are only doing the two Munros then it`s not as long a day as it looks.The cycling on the way in is at an easy gradient on a good track and quite quick on the way out.The hills are easy too.I`d guess you would get them in around about an eight hour trip.

I also did them on a day trip from Glasgow. As Alex says the cycle is very easy and the hills are a doddle. From Linn of Dee they can probably be done in not much more than 5hours if you are not dilly dallying.

Well it was probably about 12 years ago :wink: But it is a flat, fast cycle and the hills are really easy peasy, with not much ascent and descent.

Say 6hours now :)
