Monadhliath

We set off from Newtonmore on Speyside to cover all the Monadhliath Munros. After a highlevel camp we slowly curved round the high plateau that comprises the Monadhliath mountains, finally dropping down to this cozy bothy for the night. Next day, with the sun splitting the sky we walked out following the burn back to the road.

Distance covered: 23 miles
Height gained: 4000 feet
Time taken: 3 days

The Monadhliath are not exciting hills even to their most ardent fans(and they are few). They do have some interesting glens and several comfortable bothies hidden in their recesses and are always quiet. In winter they offer excellent cross country skiing opportunities.
