Fairly standard 5 Munro guidebook antI-clockwise round of the Abhain Gleann nam Fiadh taking care to visit all 9 Munro Tops, some of which get bypassed on the main MunroIst tramp. It’s a classic long day spent wandering high ridges so I ensured an early start and good forecast. Some fantastic views today; mountains all around, east and west coasts both visible (!) the Skye Bridge and even as far as the mountains on Harris, Outer Hebrides.
The Glen Affric walkers car park (free unlike the others) got moved 250m back down the Glen as part of Hydro works (all complete) so you can add 500m to previous guide distances. The upgraded hydro track is now suitable for cycles though, which might open up some new itineraries in this beautiful area?
Shortened the normal route slightly by tackling Toll Creagach direct after sizing up the initial crag band on approach. Once above this trucky rough lower section it’s pathless but without difficulty, getting easier the higher you go.
Descended LapaIch’s worthwhile long ridge to save revisitIng lest it regain Munro status. I wouldn’t want to ascend this way; you’d ‘enjoy’ a boggy ..." — davidb • Aug 24, 2020
"With Jonathan Bellarby. From the Forestry Commission car park at NH246265. We went to the east of Allt na-imrich, then more or less straight to the summit of Toll Creagach. On to the west top. Went SE, glissading down a snowfield to join the path in Gleann nam Fiadh, thence to the path used on outward journey. Little snow on the summits but snow on the slopes, especially north facing ones. There were good views with many cornices. A lizard and a large herd of deer were seen." — peter43 • Apr 14, 1982
