Route - Start/end Morvich carpark by the war memorial. Headed up to Sgurr an Airgod, then onto Beinn Bhudie before returning to carpark
Weather – Mainly overcast with westerly wind increasing to moderate throughout the day.
Learning Points – This was a route recky exercise before taking a team of graduates/apprentices up into the mountains as part of a team building exercise. Research and identify a mountain in the area which would present a challenge but would not require any technical skill or exposure. Plan the route up the mountain, review during the walk for additional dangers that were not identified during planning. Use of different map types, planned using OS 1:25, used Harveys 1:40 map on the walk. Navigation away from marked paths onto Beinn Bhuide. This was my first time visiting and walking in this area.
Group - solo
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.
