Description

The Drumochter Hills - a well timed leg-stretch on our way to IML summer (!!) training during the odd week of snow in October. Initially sunny on leaving the carpark in the valley we were immediately, surprisingly in the snow-line.

Area : Loch Rannoch to Newtonmore (Beinn Udlamain)

This area is listed in the SMC Munros Guide as ‘The Drumochter Hills) and covers the hills and mountains between Loch Rannoch and Newtonmore. Loch Ericht forms the western boundary and Glen Tromie the eastern boundary, with the Pass of Drumochter (the A9 and the Highland Main Line) dividing the area in two. Among the seven Munros in this area, only one is over 1000m (Beinn Udlamain is 1011m).
