There is nothing technical to this day but good hill fitness is a must.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 What the day includes -
Meeting in the morning we will set off along the landrover track as it leads us through Gleann Fionnlighe and towards the foot of Gulvain.
A good walk in and very little elevation gained means for a continuous pull up awaits us. Finally after some hard work we reach 850m where our legs can get a short break before ascending once more to the south summit, but don’t be fooled as this summit isn’t the highest point!
                                                                                                                                                                                                                     A good KM further along the ridge line yet before we reach the summit of Gulvain. This hike is an out and back so we will retrace our steps the way we came. The terrain is a good Land Rover track for the walk in and out , also with a river crossing. On the hill the terrain is mixed from steep grassy slopes to finer ridges and rugged underfoot.
                                                                                                                                                                                                    You must have previous hiking experience and strong hill fitness to attend this event.
Meeting location and kit list will be received upon booking.
