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.
This was a trip concieved with my log book in mind. I wanted to go somewhere alone; somewhere remote; somewhere I`d not been before; some where unequivically mountainous and I was going to wild-camp for 3 or 4 nights. And I was going to do this whatever the weather - though the route might adjust for prevailing conditions. I think I succeeded on all counts. It also turned out to be one of my favorite walks of the year, though I did initially over-estimate the number of miles I`d be able to cover in Britains largest multi-storey bog in the rain.
