Ullapool: Am Faochagach
Details
## Details
Am Faochagach is a rounded Munro to the north of the A835 (Ullapool) road. The main difficulty is the short approach across the first flat section of moor- there are bogs and a potentially difficult river crossing to negotiate. The ascent of the peak itself is more straightforward.
TERRAIN
The first section of the route crosses boggy moorland and includes a river crossing. If the river is in spate this walk will be cancelled and an alternative put on in its place.
