This area includes the famous Creag Meagaidh Range and surrounding peaks of at least 600m. It stretches east of the A82 between Spean Bridge and Invergarry, and north of the A86 as far east as Stob Coire Dubh. There are a large number of impressive winter climbs in Coire Ardair and endless navigation opportunities on and around the high central plateau of Creag Meagaidh itself. The mountains to the north and east of this range are under East Highlands, Monaliadth Mountains.
I picked and led this walk as a good easy option for our friend Anne McTiernan's 60th Birthday Munro! We were seven in total, a subgroup of a large house party staying in Newtonmore for a few days, and the primary prerequisite was to be back at base in plenty of time to get ready for a big celebration. The lowest Munro by the standard path from Roughburn - but no less enjoyable for all that. We had time to stop and enjoy identifying the many species of heathland and blanket bog plants which were in flower: bell heather and cross-leaved heath (ling was yet to flower), bog asphodel. common cotton grass, butterwort, bog myrtle, and bird's foot trefoil were among those we found. At the summit we met some thick mist, and I had to check the guidebook description and the GPS map to identify the true highpoint (which is the smaller of the two cairns separated by a minor gap).
