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.
Trip into the Knoydart staying two nights at the Barisdale Bothy either side of climbing Ladhar Bheinn. No track on Ladhar Bheinn and some tricky ridge navigation in the cloud as well as the steep approach to contend with made this a top quality day. Both in terms of fun and for Mountain Training.
