Description

With M, Sarah and Michael, turned back from 700m on Sgurr Ruadh in driving snow & knee deep drifts. River crossing OK but became steadily worse to bealach. We proceeded a little to first lochan but recognised the inevitable.

Area : 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.
