- This circular walk talks in the two Munros to the north of Achnashellach station that sit around Coire Lair. Beinn Liath Mhor and Sgoor Ruadh provide a grand days walking with spectacular views to Torrid and beyond.
It turned out a stunning, dry Autumn day with a strong breeze coming from the south.
Another great mountain excursion, done recently as well. Superb views of the Torridon hills and the immense rock slabs on Maol Chean Dearg's east side. Many moons ago my brother Mark and I did the route in reverse, gaining the ridge to Sgorr Ruadh just north of Fuar Tholl. What an amazing place that is with the immense Mainreachan Buttress up close. We were advised to do it that way as it was easier to access Bheinn Liath Mhor from the col than it was to descend to it, especially in wet conditions, although we found that a steadying hand at a couple of places saw us up to the ridge without problems. And what a ridge that is! Off the south end of the ridge I seem to remember walking around some drumlins on the way back to Achnashellach. These two hills must rank as one of the best walks in Scotland.
Stunning scenery. The views from up on the ridge and from the Munro’s is truly spectacular. Great video. Thanks for sharing
Hi Charles, It was a cracking day with great visibility and looking across to the Torridon tops is always spectacular. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie
Wow. What a day you got. Fantastic views in all directions.
Smart idea to double back off 2nd Munro and take the Corrie path out. The route heading south off the top is a bit of a trudge.
Thanks for bringing us these fantastic videos 🙂
Hi Gavin, Yes, we've been on that Corrie path before and didn't enjoy much. Getting a bit of shelter from the wind was also a bonus. Cheers, Charlie
Super video as usual.
What an early start!
An inglorious tale from my past. Michael and I parked where you parked and did the same route as you. Until on Sgorr Ruadh the mist came down and we spiralled around until we lost our bearings and went down west ending up at Coulags, which, as you know, is a step from Achnashellach. So we have a problem. Michael, always one for a hotel bed and a good dinner, realised we would have to get going since it was now late in the day. Striding out we hitched a builder's truck heading home and I sat while his collie licked my face all the way back to our car. We just made it back to the. Shieldaig Hotel in time for civet of hare, the only time I have eaten that.
Geoffrey, I like it.. LOL. What great memories you have of these hills and associated antics at the end of your day. Its not always the tops and the scenery that makes the experience to remember 🤣 Cheers, Charlie
Wonderful scenery and video Charlie!
Hi Tom, Many thanks for taking the time to view our outing. Such a magic day in amongst these big tops. Cheers, Charlie
Nice one chaps. Fine hills on a cheeky wee weather window. 👍
Hi Kev, Its great to get a weather window big enough for a cheeky wee walking trip in a tremendous area.... just great. Cheers, Charlie
You had some fine weather there Charlie - in a fine part of Scotland.
Did those two with my mate in late Winter 2 - 3 years ago - we too had stunning views. Those are two I would return to again.
Hi Andrew, I'm not surprised you would happily return to these two as they provide a stunning days walking. It's a favourite area for us throughout the seasons. Cheers
Ah the famous mountain range 'The Unpronouncables' :-). Great video.
Hi DeeKay, Such a magic area with a full array of stunning tops. Many thanks for taking the time to view our outing. Cheers, Charlie.
Another great mountain adventure Charlie with spectacular views. Need to revisit these two hills as was a wet and wild ascent last time up I was there about 18 years ago. ATB Derek
Hi Derek, Its amazing how quick the years roll by. These two are certainly worth a second visit as the location is absolutely stunning. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie
Looks a great day out .
Hi Andy, It was indeed a cracking day. Such a stunning area when the weather is clear and bright. Cheers, Charlie
@@charliemccartney7055 Maybe a camp in the beleach and turn it into a two dayer
I see you had a break in the recent poor weather, and it made for a fantastic day for you. Looked cold? I love all of Scotland’s mountains, but the Torridon / Loch Carron area is my favourite. The giants of Torridon never cease to amaze. Lovely video, thank you.
Hi Jonathan, Glad you enjoyed our trip. I agree with you that this area and the tops are the best in Scotland. It's just great to return through the years. Cheers, Charlie
Very good Charlie. I love that area. Camped at coire lair so went the col route. Was out at loch quoich on Sunday which was also clear and very nice. Gordon
Hi Gordon, The northwest corner was the place to be for late weekend weather. We had the Monday as well and got clear tops on another couple of hills although it was a bit breezy. I'll look forward to seeing you Loch Quoich trip. Cheers, Charlie.
Nice to see you out in some clear weather after the last few weeks. Hopefully the constant westerly systems slow down a bit and we can all get out a bit more. Great stuff as ever chaps 👍
Hi David, The northwest was looking settled late in the week and it was great getting a clear day with stunning views. These are great tops, quite rough but in a super location for viewing the surrounding Munros. Cheers, Charlie
Stunning video Charlie, what a magnificent part of Scotland, can't believe the daylight leaving the car park, thankyou,Ian Mckay Dundee
Hi Ian, It was just great to be have a stick on day for a change. A bit breezy but most enjoyable. Cheers, Charlie
great video as ever Charlie...such a stunning part of Scotland where I climbed with my late father back in the early 80s
Hi Mike, I've also a lot of memories of walking in this area with my old man..... so great adventures. Many thanks for taking the time to view our outing. Cheers, Charlie
Wonderful as always. The autumn colours and light give a clarity to everything that is just stunning. It's some place. Proper wilderness feel to it. Thanks again. Cheers Murdo
Hi Murdo, Just a terrific area with some stunning tops. The bonus is walking through some pines at either end of the day. Cheers, Charlie
A great hike with many stunning views. Especially I loved to see the mountain range from Beinn Alligin to Beinn Eighe (I‘ve been on both). Take care Charlie and thanks for sharing.
Hi Wolfgang, Glad you enjoyed our trip north. It was great to get settled weather for a change as things have been a bit wet and grey lately. Take care.... Charlie
Another cracking video Charlie, and what stunning views. I'm a big fan of a valley walk back. Its brilliant to look up at where you were a few hours previous. Thanks for sharing your day as always. Looking forward to the next video already!
Hi Dave, The paths in this area are just great for walking through or accessing the tops and makes getting to height straightforward. The plan coming back via the corrie was for a bit of wind protection and saved the buffering on the summit ridge. A great day... Cheers, Charlie
Hi Charlie fabulous walking in a area of outstanding beauty and a choice of routes to the two munro's what more would you want thank you 😊
Hi Philip, It was certainly the right route for the day giving the best chance of a bit of wind shelter and getting the 2nd top without the packs. Thanks for taking the time to view. Cheers, Charlie
Braw video. Some nice hills, glad you got some good weather for your walk as we have some miserable days here. Many thanks for sharing. ATB
Hi John, The northwest was looking settled for late in the weekend so it was great to take the opportunity for a couple of days walking. A bit breezy across both days but dry. Cheers, Charlie.
Nice one guys. I love that view you get when you arrive in Coire Lair and it all opens up. Fantastic views from the tops too, great day for it.
Hi Andy, Its a great coire for a walk even if you don't make for the tops. We had a winter experience up there a few years back and were driven back with a blizzard and failing light. Great days... Cheers, Charlie.
A fantastic day Charlie. We did a similar route to yours when climbing these hills, but it was a boiling hot day!
I've been back a number of times since, both walking and on the mountain bike but the first visit is always the best.
Very enjoyable video.
Cheers Alistair 👍
Hi Alistair, Its such a terrific area for the outdoors even if you just stick to the paths. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie
Absolutely fantastic Charlie & Co. What fantastic views all around👍 your filming was spot on Charlie with some epic shots.
It’s about time we got a decent day weather wise and what a place to be to enjoy it.
I was over on the single munro Maol Chean-Dearg Charlie same day. Best hike I’ve done since Skye.
Well done again Charlie👍
ATB
Frank.
Hi Frank, This was certainly the area to be on Sunday. Simply stunning and I'll look forward to your MCD movie. We caught another couple of tops on the Monday before heading home. The tops were clear but it was blowing wild along the summit ridge. A great couple of days. Cheers, Charlie.
Brilliant video fantastic views weather was good for hiking,thanks for sharing and taking us along without the effort 😅🤗
Hi Janice, Glad you enjoyed the trip. Nice to great a clear day with blue sky, such a joy. Cheers, Charlie
Looks like Sunday was the day to get out last week Charlie! Unfortunately I chose the Saturday. These look amazing! What a walk. Very rugged and views everywhere. Is this the normal route or is this your own version? Looks like a fantastic walk. I think maybe Frank was up there on Sunday too...out at that wee single Munro. Thanks again. Paul
Hi Paul, Yes, this is the normal route to these two. Great paths all the way. The northwest corner was certainly the best forecast for Sun/Mon. We managed another couple to the east before heading home yesterday. A great mini trip.. Cheers, Charlie
