Description

07.30 to 13.00 - cycle 6km + 150m, walk 6.5km + 850m, cycle 6km. South top 10.30, Gulvain 11.00.
Another fab day in terms of weather. It is a long, unrelenting slog to the south top, the ridge between though is lovely. Met two guys I passed near the cars, just before the south top on my way down. They had been up previously but not having map 41 had turned back! Had a really nice chat with a couple from Edinburgh, who were on their way up as I headed down.

Area : Loch Eil To Glen Shiel (Incl Knoydart)

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.
