It took us three quarters of an hour to ride the five miles to Ben Alder Lodge, a large house with the main track disappearing through an archway between the buildings. Our track kept to the right up a gradual climb ridable in bottom gear. A little further on a path went off to the left across a foot bridge and was the one which would have brought us to Loch Rannoch. We kept straight on and were able to ride it all and could see Loch Pattack ahead lying in a basin surrounded by hills. There looked to be excellent tracks going off towards Cultra bothy and further into the hills but our way was straight ahead
