Description

A 25 mile hike from Corrour Station to Fort William via the Grey Corries. Weather conditions were typical for Scotland in July, Rain and 30 mph winds making camping at 900 metres a rather "Fun" affair. Navigation wasn,t to difficult but there was one point when we came off the summit of Stob Coire Easain on the wrong path initially, but it was quickly realised and corrected. This was a rather definning moment in my on going development, as I realised that i had made some real progress with knowing where i am on a map and how to correct a error. A real cofidence boost.on the fourth day we decided due to the weather that Aonach Mor and Aonach Beag could wait for another day, and headed south into the Upper Glen Nevis and follow down the river Glen, to Fort william.

Area : Ben Nevis (Fort William To Loch Leven)

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.
