Beinn Bheoil and Loch Ericht Taken from the same location as geograph <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/46912">NN5170 : Beinn Bheòil and Loch Ericht</a> but four years earlier - not much changed! The walk over Beinn Bheoil followed on from Ben Alder and made for a spectacular day out. It was (almost) downhill all the way back to Dalwhinnie on the bike!
