We set of from Kinlochleven to walk
along the Blackwater reservoir. After a stop for lunch we
climbed up Sgurr Eilde Mor (the background hill) and then
pressed on to Meanach bothy for the night. Next day we
headed up over Binnean Beag then scrambled up onto the
ridge in the picture leading up to the summit of Binnean
Mor. After a steep drop we were soon back at the car and
on our way home after a superb two days of hillwalking in
one of my favourite hill ranges. Distance covered: 19
miles |

The Mamores are a long chain of hills just South of Ben Nevis. Their more prominent neighbour means they are often neglected by visitors which is a shame because they offer superb high level walking. The complete traverse is a challenging expedition with terrific rewards. |
