Description

Day 2 of Winter Skills and Mountaineering Course with the Austrian Alpine Club based out of Killin.
Absolutely disgusting day weather wise, spent teaching micro navigation skills to a group of 3. We started at NN476,369 and headed South to the Northern slopes of Sgiath Chuil. We stayed quite low down picking contour features to improve students contour interpretation, bearings, timings and pacing. Soaked to the skin!

Area : Glen Lyon to Glen Dochart & Loch Tay (Ben Lawers)

This area covers the peaks to the north and east of Crianlarich. Glen Lyon forms the northern boundary while the road from Crianlarich to Aberfeldy is the southern boundary. The Ben Lawers group in the east of this area includes seven separate peaks, all Munros, which are part of an impressive 12km ridge line. The western side of this area is generally lower and not as steep but does still home some a number of Munros. All major peaks above 600m are included in the mountains list. The area to the north is Loch Rannoch to Glen Lyon.
