At Gleann Dubh Lochain we will head for Bealach Aoidhdailean and eventually emerge at Glenelg. The planned 16 miles can be slightly shortened at Sound of Sleat should tired legs set in.

From Morvich outdoor centre we will 'stroll' through Gleann Lichd, taking in the grandeur of the Allt Grannda (250m), passing between Ben Attow and The Five Sisters/Brothers. Our main break for the day will be at Camban bothy where you can admire the incredible Ciste Dhubh before trecking onward into Glen Affric and Alltbeithe Youth Hostel. Please note although this is classed as a primitive hostel it has the luxury of a shower and toilet but do not look for a MICROWAVE. Calor Gas cooking only. |

The hardy treckers will set out from Alltbeithe retracing our steps for ¾km
then taking the Gleann Gniomhaidh route 'topping out' at the Bealach an Sgairne (550m). The mighty Beinn Fhada is on your left with A'Ghlas-bheinn on your right. It is then all the way down to pick up our transport back at Morvich outdoor centre.
You can then rest your weary feet before meeting up with the intrepid Munro/Corbett baggers.
We will then return to Stirling stopping en-route for a well earned snack or meal. |
