Hard: 4 Eastern Fannichs, Ullapool weekend
Details
A circuit (anti-clockwise) of the 4 Eastern Fannich munros; Beinn Liath Mhor Fannich, Sgurr Mor, Meall Gorm and An Coilleachan. A strenuous and remote walk for hill-fit walkers only.
The parking area is not big and so, where possible, let's car share. Let's meet outside Tescos main entrance at 8am https://maps.app.goo.gl/eGMnsAKwmNM22XkM8 We can agree who's taking cars nearer to the date.
NB Priority given to those signed up for the Ullapool Weekend.
Sgurr Mor is the most westerly of the 4 and there will hopefully be great views from it to the nearby Clach Geala ridge that the group walked in last years Western Fannichs walk.
