Description

Headed out above Cannich for some night nav using 1:25 000.
Found Garmin woefully inaccurate for altitude and some conflict also with the GPS.
Frustrating experience and chased off the high ground by an electrical storm.
Better to iron out these creases now.
As Justin pointed out, the nearby power pylons would have accounted for GPS inaccuracy.

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.
