Ben Chonzie & Auchnafree Hill

Getting to Glen Turret

• On the A85, just outside the western boundary of Crieff, a minor road is marked towards the 'Famous Grouse Experience'. Head up this road, pass the distillery and over a bridge.
• The road comes to a junction, turn left. Now on a narrow Hydro road, follow this to a car-park by Loch Turret dam.

Auchnafree Hill

• Leave the car-park and walk towards the building at the eastern end of Loch Turret dam . Just behind this building, pick up the track heading northwards along the eastern shore of Loch Turret. The track is quite rough, but cyclable if you've got a decent mountain-bike.
• Continue up the track for around 4km to reach a junction , just beyond the head of the reservoir. If cycling, leave bikes here.
• Turn right (east) and start hiking uphill. After around 1.5km, and at around c700m, the track comes to a junction , turn left and follow it for around 300m to its abrupt end . Turn right and head directly uphill following some ATV tracks and then a faint path to Auchnafree Hill's summit with its two cairns.

Ben Chonzie

• Just to the north of Auchnafree's summit, there is a line of fence-post and these can be followed north-west over A'Chairidh.
• Faint paths and deer-trods can be traced over the grass and through the heather over the Moine Bheag and around the southern side of Biorach a'Mheannain. The steep ground below Bealach na Gaoith is gained and an obvious, if very loose path climbs up it. Once onto the bealach, turn south-west and follow the line of fence-posts to Ben Chonzie's summit cairn .

Return to Glen Turret

• Retrace your steps to Bealach na Gaoith and down the steep path .
• Follow the worn path to reach the start of a rough track by Lochan Uaine Bealach na Gaoith .
• Follow the track back to the junction and return to the dam.
