The surrounding views of Loch Maree and torridon make up for the efforts required.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     What the day includes -
Meeting in the morning we will set off with a couple KMs to cover to get us into the foot of this mountain. Making our way in loch maree will soon greet us before we branch off and start our ascent up into the Coire.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                     From here the ground is steep and rocky in places before easing off a little. As we approach the summit the views are spectacular, a mountain you won’t want to rush off! We will enjoy a well deserved break and bite to eat as we soak up the stunning scenery.
                                                                                                                                                                                                          Depending on weather and group ability we will either continue on and make a circuit for the day or retrace our steps back the way we came.
This event is ideal for those with previous hiking experience and a good amount of hill-fitness.
                                                                                                                                                                                                       Meeting location and kit list will be received upon booking.

Local accommodation information -
I highly recommend the Torridon youth hostel , please see link below. Here you can book your own choice of bunk or private room.
https://www.hostellingscotland.org.uk/hostels/torridon/
There is also a campsite next to the youth hostel which is free to camp with shower and toilet facilities which they ask for a donation ( card ). Please note you cannot reserve pitches it’s just a turn up and see if there is a spot available.
Also a campervan area which asks for a donations just across from the campsite, again it’s a no reservations and just turn up and see if a spot is available
