Sgurr Eilde Mor and Binnein Beag are the two Eastern Munros of the Mamores Range. A good amount of effort is required to reach these summit with a hike in from Kinlochleven. Two fine peaks with a good walk in between them, a bit of contrast from the rest of the Mamore range and makes for a big day out on the hills.
What the day includes -
Meeting in the morning we will start our hike from Kinlochleven , a steep start to get the legs going where we hike up through a wooded area, rising above the woodland the views open out above kinlochleven and Loch Leven. After a bit more ascent the path starts to level out for a bit as we make our way towards Sgurr Eilde Mor, with Loch Eilde Mor coming into view too.
Another ascent takes us up to the foot of our first Munro, it may not look much but a traverse around the lochan and a steep pull up the worn scree path adds a little bit more than it looks. Once we have reached the summit we will enjoy a well deserved break and bite to eat. The views from here are stunning with the lochan glistening below!
Retracing our steps and descending back down towards the lochan. This hike isn’t a simple up and down, a good bit of distance lays between these two summits as Binnein Beag stands alone looking rather small with the Grey Corries as its backdrop, The remote position of this hill makes it the hardest summit to reach of its Range. Once again reaching another Lochan at the foot of our Munro we will pull up to the summit of our second Munro , Binnein Beag. After a good break and bite to eat we will retrace our steps back the way we came traversing back over the Coire and pulling up to Coire An Lochain where we will stop for a quick refuel before descending back towards Kinlochleven.
This day is suited for those with previous summer hiking experience and good hill fitness is a must as we will be cover a mixture of rugged and rough terrain.
Meeting location and kit list will be received upon booking.
