Update – owing to forecast of persistent heavy rain, the Beinn Eighe to Loch Maree traverse will not take place as some of the burn crossings beyond Beinn Eighe will be difficult if not impossible. Instead the bus will park up for the day at the Red Barn. Members can be dropped off at Kinlochewe or anywhere along the Loch Maree road.

This traverse has not been undertaken on a Bus meet for a number of years. This meet will provide the opportunity to undertake a traverse through Torridon and Flowerdale.

The bus will drop off members (and guests) at the Beinn Eighe car park (NG958566). The bus will then depart immediately heading round to the Red Barn car park (NG856721) where it will park up for the day.

The main walk options are to undertake a traverse via i) Beinn Dearg (Corbett), ii) Baosbheinn (Corbett) or iii) Beinn an Eoin (Corbett). It is also possible to undertake a traverse via Beinn a’Chearcaill (Graham) finishing at the Loch Maree road.

Members (and guests) can also undertake a traverse of Beinn Eighe (Munro x2) from the Beinn Eighe car park through to Kinlochewe, finishing at our pub stop (the Kinlochewe Hotel). This traverse includes some easy scrambling via the Black Carls.

There are of course also a number of non-traverse options available including: Slioch (Munro), Meall a’Ghuithais (Corbett), Ruadh-stac Beag (Corbett), Beinn a’Mhuinidh (Graham), Beinn nan Ramh (Graham), etc.

There is also good climbing available at Stone Valley next to the Red Barn.

Lots of outstanding mountains on offer. Book soon to avoid disappointment.
