Description

We set off from 035119, West of Loch Cluanie. We climbed steeply to the ridge on Meall a' Charra then up to Sgurr a Bhealaich Dheirg. It had a very interseting cairn at the end of a narrow ridge. There were four of us including my 16 year old nephew. from here we followed the ridge West to Saileag in mist. Lots of narrow ridge sections. We descended steeply again from Bealach na Lapain and entered the woods by using the flap under the deer fence that the stream runs through. then we followed the forest track back to the car.

Area : Glen Affric and Kintail

South of Loch Mullardoch you will find the Glen Affric and Kintail area whose southern boundary is the A87 road to Inverness. The Five Sisters of Kintail, Beinn Fhada, Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan and Carn Eighe are just some of the impressive peaks in this area, and all have their own unique selling points such as remoteness, size, steepness or height. As a result, peaks in the list are all over 900m.
