Description

Forecast storm force wind possibly 100 mph, M, Shirley & I chose a short day and early finish - Druim Fada from Glen Loy. In fact we ran out of time after battling to about 500m. This Graham is not very accessible with deep heather, pathless woodland & a deer fence. But a nice piece of Caledonian forest.

Area : Loch Eil to Glen Shiel

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.
