Overview

A good, but long, walk in alongside Loch Turret from the start point and this walk takes in the three peaks of Ben Chonzie, Meall na Seide and Carn Chois.  

The grass slope at the end of the Glen Turret road can be wet in places, but once the Bealach na Gaoith is reached the ground is good for quite some distance.

There are peat hags in the dip between Meall na Seide and Carn Chois.
