What the day includes -
Meeting in the morning at Balsparron cottage with a high level starting point , the ascent for these two munros is minimal. Setting off with a good track underfoot, a short walk to warm up the legs before we start ascending. A gentle gradient continues as we make our way to the first summit , Geal Charn.
After a break and bite to eat we head on, dropping down to the bealach then a short pull up onto the vast plateau of our second Munro, A Mharconaich. Soon the summit is reached where we will stop for another break and bite to eat. Heading off we will make our way down the shoulder with a river to cross at the bottom before joining the main path back out to the cars.
This day is for those who prefer a more gentle paced day. Learn about the flora and fauna of the mountains and the local area.
