Glen Affric Munros - mountain running

If you’re a mountain runner and a lover of wild, remote places then this is THE best wilderness adventure the Scottish Highlands has to offer - and just 45mins from Inverness! Fresh air and tranquility,quiet trails, scenic lochs and nothing but mountains all around. Join us to run over some spectacular Munros, set deep in the Glen Affric National Nature Reserve - 'often described as the most beautiful glen in Scotland'!

We will journey to our base at the isolated Glen Affric Ecohostel on Friday evening*www.hostellingscotland.org.uk/hostels/glen-affric A former stalking bothy, this rustic hostel is the perfect location to get away from it all and relax in an area of natural beauty. Once at the eco-hostel, we will spend the evening ‘cooking-up’ and enjoying a roaring fire.

*You can walk/run/ride into to the hostel alone (easy trail) or meet the group in Cannich on the Friday afternoon, to share the walk-in with our guides.

Early on day-2 we will set out together for a big day in the Sgùrr nan Ceathreamhnan hills, straight from our door at Alltbeithe. Weather and progress will dictate our full itnierary but we'll aim to climb at least three Munros; Mullach nan Dheiragain, Sgùrr nan Ceathreamhnan and An Socach, over two days. On the Sunday we'll also walk back out to our cars, at the eastern end of Loch Affric - on tired legs!

You don't need to be fast but you will need good hill fitness and stamina for this event. The journey will be sociable however, with plenty of stops enroute for faffs, snacks and snaps.

The weekend’s cost covers guiding and instruction with a Summer Mountain Leader qualified and/or Fell Running Association (FRA) accredited guides.
