The Sgurr nan Conbhairean round makes up 3 Munros on the East end of Kintail, they may not be as well talked about as some of the other surrounding hikes but still makes for a brilliant day out on the hills taking in 3 Munros.
Good hill fitness and previous hiking experience is a must.
What the day includes -
Meeting in the morning we will set off and start our hike up the first munro , Carn Ghluasaid. Following the great stalkers path as we gradually ascend with the terrain becoming rockier on the higher slopes reaching the vast summit plateau.
After a break and bite to eat we will continue along the ridge line only descending slightly before ascending under a Minor top before a steep pull up to our second Munro , Sgurr nan Conbhairean.
Our third Munro , Sail Chaorainn sits to the north and once we have reached its summit we will need to retrace our steps south back towards Sgurr Nan Conbhairean. Ascending just below the summit where we will head south picking up the ridge line towards another minor top though once again bypassing the summit and descending down to catch the old military road for a short walk back to the start point.
The terrain throughout is a mixture of vegetated ground with rocky sections in places.
Meeting location and kit list will be received upon booking. Group ratio 1:6
