I second the advice of John Higgins. The £2 payment to Dalmunzie is well worth avoiding the total of 5 km. of tarmac, (out and back). In addition I have found the hotel staff, without exception, friendly and interested. If, as is often the case for me, you are walking alone having someone who knows where you are headed gives a little extra peace of mind.

Do yourself a favour and pay the small £2.00 parking fee at the Dalmunzie Hotel as the route is long enough, on the way back you'll be thankful you did! This is a long walk and can be arduous in bad weather. The two mountains are an easy enough climb but the ground is very boggy at Glas Choire Bheag and down the hill into Gleann Taitneach, watch out for large deep holes in the path in this area also. The views from the two mountains are stunning making the walk worthwhile.

Due to stalking restrictions I wound up doing this route in reverse, which turned out to be quite a good way to do it... very good paths almost all the way, except for the bit between loch nan eun & the path below man nan carn....otherwise it is straightforward walking....you could take a car up to the hotel if you ask nicely and pay £2, I did not though, as I am too cheap)

Pick good visibility for this one; the views from the summit are fantastic. I really enjoyed this route for it's remote feel and tranquility. Done in good weather, on a bank holiday week in late May, I saw no-one else all day.

Not a bad walk, just a sod of a walk in from Spittal of Glenshee. Watch out for the 2 pound for parking at hotel, if you are feeling honest. Would be grand winter walk/ski.
