Description
Parked at Corriehallie, walked up the path to Sheneval for 750m then crossed the burn and headed south west over the pavement to the lochan at 446m. Followed the ridge line to the summit of Sail Lath, then north west to Stob Cadha Gobhlach, continued north then north west to the start of the pinnacles. Climbed up onto the 1st one, the others didn't fancy it, offered to protect the scramble but we decided that it would take too long and used the bypass path around to the north west ridge up onto Sgurr Fiona. Went north north east down the ridge to the belach then continued ontpo the summit of Bidean a Ghlas Thull. We headed north then north north west to the flat spot marked 916 where we descended east over loose rough ground to pick up the path out of Coire a Ghlas Thull to Dundonnell House then follwed the road south back to the lay-bye .
Attention to the map was required and frequent bearings were taken and followed.
The walk contained a large section of pathless terrain leading up to Sail Liath

Area : Loch Maree to Loch Broom and The Fannaichs
This area contains four main sub-regions: An Teallach, The Fannaichs, Kinlochewe & Letterewe. The highest Munro is Sgurr Mor, part of The Fannaichs range, at a height of 1110m. The impressive Slioch (981m), although not the tallest, is described by the SMC Munros Guide as being ‘one of the great sights of the Northern Highlands’ and well worth a visit. This area sits to the north of the A832 and is almost completely devoid of human habitation.
