Description

Started at Shiel Bridge, walked up Glen Shiel and ascended to Meallan Odhar (610m).
Conditions too adverse to continue up Forcan Ridge, so descended via Biod an Fhithich, following ridge line back to Shiel Bridge.

Area : Loch Eil To Glen Shiel (Incl Knoydart)

The Great Glen to the east, the A87 to the north and the A830 to the south separate this area from its surroundings and enclose an area of high mountains and low glens. The highest mountain is Sgurr na Ciche (1040m) and further north the South Glen Shiel Ridge is formed by a whopping seven Munros! Also in the area is The Saddle (1010m) which is home to the classic Forcan Ridge. Peaks in the mountains list are all above 900m.
