13km + 1200m. Dundonnel, Strath Beag.
With strong winds overnight and an improving forecast I didn't leave the van until 8.30am, and headed for the col at GR067851 (11.20). After working through some deep snow I reached Bidein a'Ghlas Thuill (12.00) and decided that the continuation to Glas Mheall Liath (12.35) was feasible with the wind and conditions. After I bite to eat I retraced my steps, easier going, and got back to the van (15.30). After a quick sort I was on the road and heading home for my wife's birthday and our wedding anniversary the next day! Despite the wind it was a fab day and great to be back on An Teallach,; shame the conditions didn't lend themselves to a full traverse.
Area :
Loch Maree to Loch Broom and The Fannaichs
This area contains four main sub-regions: An Teallach, The Fannaichs, Kinlochewe & Letterewe. The highest Munro is Sgurr Mor, part of The Fannaichs range, at a height of 1110m. The impressive Slioch (981m), although not the tallest, is described by the SMC Munros Guide as being ‘one of the great sights of the Northern Highlands’ and well worth a visit. This area sits to the north of the A832 and is almost completely devoid of human habitation.
