This is the area south of Buachaille Etive Mor as far as the A85 (Tyndrum to Oban road). It includes the peaks around the Glencoe Ski Centre (Creise and Meall a’Bhuiridh) alongside eleven other Munros and many other peaks above 600m. Highlights such as Ben Cruachan (1126m) and Stob Ghabhar (1090) remind all-comers that this is an area of high mountains and low glens.
Personal hill walking day - weather forecast was marginal (Met Office slightly more optimistic than MWIS in terms of windspeed), but I opted to head out and see what things were like on the ground. In the event, the wind was gusting quite strongly, but nowhere near the 70mph worst case scenario. Going was quite slow across the two subsidiary tops. as the bouldery terrain and wet snow made conditions treacherous underfoot. Rather than return via my outward route, I opted to head SSE off the south top towards the bealach at 562m and return via the landrover track which runs down the glen.
