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.

Torridon is a perennial favourite 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 also provide a spectacular day.

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.

A good opportunity to utilise Winter skills learned on the January Cairngorm meet. Remember your ice axe, crampons and winter clothes. Check MWIS for weather and SAIS for avalanche risk and remember that you are responsible for your own safety.

Please contact Dave Whitelock via email by the evening of Thursday 14th please to book a seat on the bus for this meet.
