I climbed the Strathfarrar Four with a friend. We arrived at the gate at 9am, and started the hillwalk at 9.25. I wasn't feeling at my fittest or fastest, and we were lucky enough to meet a nice man who had cycled to the base of the 7km walk out, and who offered us a lift back, cycling to get his car. Not only was this very pleasant for us, but it helped us meet the 8pm curfew which we might have struggled to meet otherwise.
We really enjoyed walking these hills, and the weather was much better than the forecast cloudy with occasional sunshine and showers.

Glen Cannich to Glen Carron
This area covers the peaks north of Loch Mullardoch and south of the A890/A832 Strathcarron to Garve road. The fourteen Munros in the area are handily split into two ridges either side of Glen Strathfarrar and a cluster of five to the north and west of Loch Monar. Sgurr na Lapaich (1150m) and An Riabhachan (1129) are the highest peaks on the southern side while Sgurr a’ Choire Ghlais (1083m) is the tallest on the northern side. Mountains in the list are all about 900m. The area to the south of this is Glen Affric and Kintail.
