  • 08 Ben More, Mull Wild Land Area
    Description of Wild Land Area – 2015 08 Ben More, Mull Wild Land Area 1 Description of Wild Land Area – 2015 Context This relatively small WLA (area of 87 km2), one of 11 island WLAs, is located in the mountainous heart of the Inner Hebridean Isle of Mull. Elongated in shape, the WLA stretches east and west of the distinctive peak of Ben More, the only island Munro outwith those found on Skye. Unusually for an island WLA it is not defined by the coast, although the sea strongly influences the qualities of the area with the 12km long north-west boundary less than 1km from the sea. To the east of Ben More the mountain range continues as large areas of scree and exposed rock that have been carved out of the roots of a huge volcano to form a variable landscape punctuated by the conical peak of Beinn Talaidh. This marks the eastern extent of the WLA before coniferous forestry wraps around the base of the hill. To the west of Ben More is an arc of hills that envelop and provide a sense of enclosure for the wide, concave watershed of the grassy slopes of Gleann Doire Dhubhaig. The WLAs edges are marked by narrow single track roads and tracks on all sides. The inland loch of Loch Ba and Glen Cannel mark the eastern half of the northern boundary and provide gentler slopes interspersed with some native woodland cover only separated from the WLA itself by the estate track. The sea loch of Loch na Keal lies along the western half of the northern boundary.

  • Beinn Eighe and Liathach for Grandeur: a Visit to Its Lochan Is a Must
    H of Wester Ross 1 Gairloch District: from Little Loch Broom to Loch Torridon 1 The central part of Wester Ross, from Little Loch Broom to Loch Torridon, is privileged to have an unmatched collection of mountains – or rather hills, as they are traditionally known in Scotland. The main service centre of this area is Gairloch, from which they can all be reached. The aim of this booklet is to introduce these hills to both active and armchair hill- walkers. It is not a complete guide; for that you need something like the SMC North West Highlands guide, plus a good map. But it contains hints from local knowledge, relevant geological information, and a lot of pictures. Fine weather is assumed (yes, there are fine days here!): if possible, don’t climb these hills without it, unless you enjoy the mere exercise or the navigational challenge, or you are simply bagging summits (p20)! And remember that in snowy winter conditions hill-walking is transformed into a different and more technical sport – mountaineering. Our hills are not high by continental standards, but while the greater ranges are still rising or being worn down (which may take only 50 million years), ours have been carved by ice out of truly ancient rocks: gneiss (p11), amphibolite (p19), sandstone (p23), and quartzite (p27), each with its own distinct character as you walk on it. This geology, everywhere visible, explains why the landscape here is so much rockier, rougher and more varied than the land further east, which was overrun by the softer rock of the mountain-building Moine Thrust (p35).

  • Liathach Traverse
    Liathach Traverse Saturday 1st June 2019 Without doubt a contender for one of the finest mountains in Scotland, Liathach 1055m stands proud above Torridon, managing to look both beautiful and impregnable at the same time! Fortunately it is easier than it looks, allowing us to make a fantastic scrambling journey along the ridge, and visit both Munro summits. The scrambling is never too hard (Grade 2), but with lots of exposure. We would expect to wear helmets and harnesses for the scrambling sections of the day, with a rope being used as necessary depending upon individual progress and weather/conditions. Itinerary Saturday 1st June 2019 Meet in Inverness 07:30, travel to Torridon. Traverse Liathach and return to Inverness early evening Your Guide Jonty Mills, local Mountaineering Instructor (MIA) & Full Member, Association of Mountaineering Instructors. To lead clients on graded scrambles and rock climbs in the UK a guide should either be a full Member of the Association of Mountaineering Instuctors (AMI) or the British Mountain Guides (BMG)—your sign of quality and professionalism. Don’t accept anything less! Experience needed You should have some experience of UK mountain walking, and done some basic Grade 1 scrambling (or have a good head for heights!). No technical climbing experience is required. You should be fit enough for an 8-hour Scottish hill day incorporating two Munros. For an explanation of UK Scrambling grades see our website Cost/Booking £ 95 per person. Two spaces per guide. I run this day on a 1:2 ratio, which ensures maximum safety and attention for you.
