Description

Athnamulloch up to Bealach Coire Gheideil. Initial intention to go down to camp disregarded when I saw cloud free tops. Left pack and scooted up 1108m and Mam Sodhail. Frozen and scoured conditions. Darkness falling by time I reached bealach. V difficult terrain in descent to Loch Mullardoch. Reached the ruin at around 1830 and set camp in the low walls of the ruin - the only dry place.

Area : Glen Affric and Kintail

South of Loch Mullardoch you will find the Glen Affric and Kintail area whose southern boundary is the A87 road to Inverness. The Five Sisters of Kintail, Beinn Fhada, Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan and Carn Eighe are just some of the impressive peaks in this area, and all have their own unique selling points such as remoteness, size, steepness or height. As a result, peaks in the list are all over 900m.
