Some may wish to add Beinn Laith Mhor onto this day to make a bigger day but for this event we will just be taking in Sgorr Ruadh.
                                                                                                                                                                                                              What the day includes -
We will meet in the morning and start our hike heading up through the forestry on a good track to start, this will soon open out and the view of Fuar Tholl, the neighbouring corbett dominates the views. Our Munro can’t be seen until we have pulled up and into the coire.
Once out the forestry we will make our way up , pulling up steeply by a gorge before the gradient eases as we head into the coire. A bit of distance to cover as we make our way to the bealach between Sgorr Ruadh and Beinn Laith Mhor.
A short and steep pull up with Minor scrambling we will soon reach our summit for the day. The views from here are outstanding specially over to The Torridon Gaints.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Our descent route will depend on weather conditions and group ability . We will either retrace our steps back down into the coire or descend down to Bealach Mor, this route covers rough and rocky terrain until we meet the main path back out.
Back on the main path we will make our way back down towards the forestry and back to the cars.
                                                                                                                                                                                                               You must have previous hiking experience and strong hill fitness to be able to attend this event.
                                                                                                                                                                                                 Meeting location and kit list will be received upon booking.
