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.
I chose this walk because it looked relatively straightforward, and I was beginning to feel pretty tired! I did the walk with my good hillwalking friend - she was full of energy this time, whereas I kept at a slower pace. I still really enjoyed the day. The views were spectacular, and I saw several landmarks that I would love to visit next year, not simply for Munro-bagging.
