A moderate hill walk in the beautiful area of Glencoe, Scotland. This will suit those who have a good level of fitness. We benefit from a 300 metre high start point just off the A82Experience one of Glencoe’s most beautiful mountain ridges on a guided hike over Buachaille Etive Beag, taking in two Munro summits and sweeping Highland views.OVERVIEW
Difficulty: Moderate
Distance: 8km/5 miles
Duration: 6-7 hours
ROUTE
A well constructed path leads up towards Mam Buidhe, the bealach (saddle) between the two munros. The first objective is Stob Dubh and the path narrows near the top where we will (weather permitting) have sensational views towards the Glencoe mountains and Loch Etive. The second munro is reached by retracting our steps to the bealach and heading up a steep rocky path for a short distance to the summit. From here there are extensive views down and across Glencoe. Return by the same route.
Start Time: 0700
Meeting Point: Glencoe car park opposite ‘Beehive Cairn” on the A82
TERRAIN AND DIFFICULTY
This walk involves well constructed paths which become rocky with steep gradients. Walkers should have a good level of fitness and be prepared for variable weather conditions
FITNESS LEVEL
You should be comfortable walking for at least 10km with a rucksack as a minimum but rest assured that the pace will be gentle with stops along along the way.
