O.S.Map(s): 19/24/25
Est. time of arrival: 9.45 am
Time of departure: 16.30 pm
Leave Elgin: 7.00 am
The bus will park for the day in the Alligin car park by Coire Mhic Nobuil road and snow conditions permitting.
Torridon is a perennial favourite and a popular with both walkers and climbers. With a great range of magnificent hills, the choice is endless. If we get a clear day, the views will be marvellous so don’t forget your camera!
The bus should arrive at Kinlochewe by about 9.30am giving time to tackle Slioch, a “real fortress of a mountain”, a considerable day out with the reward of a pub finish. Beinn Eighe, or parts of it, can be traversed from or to Kinlochewe depending or where you wish to end up. Coire Mhich Fhearchair is one of the finest and most impressive corries in Scotland and well worth walking into.
The traverse of Liathach, with its 8km ridge and series of pinnacles or the sandstone ridge of Beinn Alligin over the Horns of Alligin will both provide a spectacular winter mountaineering day, but keep an eye out on time!
There are plenty of Corbetts in the area, Beinn Damh stands in splendid isolation and Beinn Dearg to the north of Liathach will give excellent views of its prominent neighbours.
Contact Dave Whitelock by email by the evening of Thursday 17th at the latest please to book a seat on the bus for this meet.
