We had walked in from the Cluanie Inn at
the top of Glen Shiel with a view to doing Mam Sodhail
but for some reason turned left instead or right at the
ridge. The curving ridge that you see in the picture was
just too tempting compared to the squat roundness of Mam
Sodhail. It was bitterly cold as we made our way along
the ridge, despite the sun and the snow was brick hard.
The views stretched far and wide and it was only after
wondering back and forwards over the switchback of ridges
comprising Sgurr Nan Ceathreamhnan's tops that we
eventually dropped down to Glen Affric youth hostel for
the night. Distance covered: 12 miles( to/from the
hostel) |

| Glen Affric has been called the most beautiful Glen in Scotland. I might not go that far, but without a doubt it has some very fine mountains, including the highest North of the Great Glen. It also has one of the very remotest youth hostels in Scotland with no road anywhere near it. | ||
