Description

28.3km, 1670m. 07.45 - 17.40.
Rain, sleet and snow. Only just freezing on the tops. The conditions where the snow sticks to you and then melts! A835 GR280741 07.45, bridge GR252713 09.00, Loch Gorm 10.00, An Coileachan 10.50, Meall Gorm, Meall nam Peithirean, Beinn Liath Mhor Fannaich 13.45, Sgurr Mor 14.40, Carn na Criche 15.15, beallach GR187727, stalkers path to GR196739, stalkers ate down the Allt a Mhadaidh, Loch Droma dam and road 17.40. A good day out despite the horrible weather. The stalkers path round Beinn Liath Mhor Fannaich and below Meall a`Chrasgaidh are both fab. The latter one isn`t marked on OS maps.

Area : Loch Maree to Loch Broom and The Fannaichs

This area contains four main sub-regions: An Teallach, The Fannaichs, Kinlochewe & Letterewe. The highest Munro is Sgurr Mor, part of The Fannaichs range, at a height of 1110m. The impressive Slioch (981m), although not the tallest, is described by the SMC Munros Guide as being ‘one of the great sights of the Northern Highlands’ and well worth a visit. This area sits to the north of the A832 and is almost completely devoid of human habitation.
