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 4 or solo exped. I`m feeling robbed because the fantasticallty named Corbett Sgurr Cos na Breachd-Loaidh at 835m and its East top Druim Chuirn (822m) are inexplicably not included in the DLOG mountain list. They`re on the map and while it`s true I`d been without company for a while I`m pretty sure I didn`t halicinate them. This day actually started with some of the trickiest route finding of the exped as a sensible descent route had to be seleted from the East top while accounting for finding a sensible sopt to cross the River Kingie. Then there was a big walk out to the car on what might once have been a landrover track, but now contained a significant amount of aquatic habitat. I got back to the car around 5pm. Half an hour later I saw the first other human being I`d seen since leaving the car on the 11th.
