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.
Day 3 of solo exped. Rainy windy night and wake into a think cloud. Still seem to have the hill to myself. At lunch time on An Eag I`m forced to conclude that making it over Ben Aden and round Loch Quoich might be overly ambitious and that I`d underestimate the terrain. And that it`s very wet. decide to pitch my tent on An Eag for a slightly more sheltered lunch, then leave it for a quicker trip over Sgurr nan Coireachan and Garbh Chioch Mor. Breif breaks in clound confirm I`m not going to get Sgurr na Ciche in aswell. Back in the tent for 9pm and a return journey that actually wasn`t that wet.
