                                                                                                                                                                                                                     The drumochter Munros in summer are fairly straight forward and don’t stand out much in comparison to others. However in winter they make for a great day out and give a little more excitement to these Munros. This day is ideal for those who have been on a winter skills course with use of crampons and ice axes and are looking to maintain their skills and enjoy a winters day taking in two Munros. You must have strong hill fitness to be able to attend this event. 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                      What the day includes -
Meeting in the morning at Balsparron cottage with a high level starting point , the ascent for these two munros is minimal. Setting off with a good track underfoot, a short walk to warm up the legs before we start ascending. A gentle gradient continues as we make our way to the first summit , Geal Charn.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                            After a break and bite to eat we head on, dropping down to the bealach then a short pull up onto the vast plateau of our second Munro, A Mharconaich. To avoid the river crossing on descent we will descend back to the bealach and catch the landrover track joining the main path back out to the cars.
