The Great Glen to the east, the A87 to the north and the A830 to the south separate this area from its surroundings and enclose an area of high mountains and low glens. The highest mountain is Sgurr na Ciche (1040m) and further north the South Glen Shiel Ridge is formed by a whopping seven Munros! Also in the area is The Saddle (1010m) which is home to the classic Forcan Ridge. Peaks in the mountains list are all above 900m.
From the south to Gulvain. 1hr15m up the glen then 2h30 to the top & 2 hrs back, then down the glen in an hour. Showers of sleet. Wind came in earlier than forecast & gave me quite a battering between the summits. A group of 4 ptarmigan & a distant eagle.
