Description

This was a glorious walk, one that I posted as a Meetup event, although I hadn't actually done it before. Seven of us went, and unfortunately three people were very late. I waited 50 minutes for them as we were meeting at a very remote area, Elleric, and they had phoned me to tell me they were lost. But in retrospect I'm not sure that it was fair on the others to keep them waiting that long. I was about to give up and set off when they finally turned up.
We went slightly wrong early on in the walk, as I missed the turn-off up the hill, but we were able to scramble up to the path - about 100m. After that the walk seemed very easy, with lovely scenery. There were a couple of people who were slower than the rest, but they were only a few minutes behind. The weather was lovely, and spent about an hour on the summit, having lunch and taking photos. It was a lovely day.

Area : Glencoe South (Loch Linnhe To Loch Etive)

The southern side of Glen Coe includes some very well-known mountains and can be split into two groups; the ones you can see from the A82 and the ones you can’t. Included in the former group is Buachaille Etive Mor, Buachaille Etive Beag, the Three Sisters and the Ballachulish Horseshoe, and in the latter, three Munros between Glen Creran and Glen Etive (Sgor na h-Ulaidh, Beinn Fhionnlaidh and Beinn Sgulaird). With huge amounts of climbing and walking in summer and winter, this area is also home to a large cairn built for Queen Victoria, or so the story goes. Includes all major peaks above 600m.
