This area covers the mountains between Fort William, Loch Leven (to the south) and Loch Treig (to the east). The area includes Ben Nevis and Carn Mor Dearg, The Mamores, The Aonachs and The Grey Corries. An impressive 20 Munros are split equally by Glen Nevis and the waters of Abhainn Rath. Relatively accessible from the A82, these mountains hold some classic walking and climbing routes such as The Ring of Steall in the Mamores and Point Five Gully on Ben Nevis. Includes all major peaks above 600m.
Lead on a group walk of 9 adults (5 female and 4 Male) varying degrees of experience among group members. Gale force winds and driving rain made progress slow and difficult. Numerous groups passes on the Pony Track, retreating due to poor conditions. 3 members (experienced walkers)decided to attempt a summit ascent and pushed on from the main group. They manged to get to around 800m before conditions forced a retreat. The main group (novice walkers) managed to ascend to Lochan Meall An T-Suidhe for a quick lunch before returning via the Pony Track back to Ben Nevis Visitor Centre.
