Description

A Rockhoppers MC "snow chasing" trip based in Glencoe with no snow! I had some winter novices along and initially we had planned to circle Buachaille Etive Beag starting in the Lairig Gartain. The Alt Lairig Eilide was in spate and the winds didn't see too bad in the afternoon so we returned by the two Munros ad descended by Coire Raineach. Someone celbrated their first two Munros.

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.
