A steep ascent with some lovely ridge walking between to two summits, a great day on the hills surrounded by stunning scenery.
                                                                                                                                                                                                            What the day includes -
We will meet in the morning and set off with a short section of the road to walk before branching off and heading straight up hill! This steep ascent certainly gets the legs and lungs set up for the day ahead.
Reaching the shoulder of A Chralaig the gradient starts to ease as we make our way up towards the summit. Reaching the massive summit cairn of our first Munro, a chralaig we can have a well deserved break and bite to eat.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                             The walk ahead is some lovely broad ridge walking, which winds its way to the bealach and onto Mullach Fraoch Choire. This approach can look intimidating with huge pinnacles of rock sticking out the ground, but not to worry as we will be keeping to the path which winds underneath. Some steep and airy ground in sections but nothing technical.
Reaching our Second Munro, Mullach Fraoch Choire we will hopefully take in the stunning views of Glen Affric and the many more mountains to be hiked!
                                                                                                                                                                                                   Retracing our steps down to the bealach we will drop down into Coire Odhar and down to the glen below. This route out is normally a wet one underfoot so some bog hoping may be required! A good few KMs ahead along the Glen to take us back to the start point.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        This event is ideal for those with previous hiking experience and good hill fitness.
