Day walk |
Lochranza to Brodick Via The Tops
Facebook Event Page
|
Back by popular demand Craggy's annual traverse of north Arran from Lochranza to Brodick.
Distance 21km
Time 9 to 10hrs
Ascent 1600m
SUBJECT TO WEATHER! Catch 0700 ferry then bus to Lochranza arriving 0843. Route is from the Distillery up Gleann Easan on to Caisteal Abhail, Cir Mhor, round the back of A'Chir and on to Beinn Tarsuinn and Beinn Nuis (or Beinn a'Chlaibhain).
Ascent is more than Ben Nevis so a good level of hill fitness required! There is an escape route after Cir Mhor down to Glen Rosa which reduces the amount of ascent but it only knocks a couple of km off so still a very committing walk which will take around 9 to 10 hours. Return on 1920 ferry. |

Weekend |
Kintail Weekend (incl. South Glenshiel Ridge)
Facebook Event Page
|
Walk details will be confirmed nearer the time, but the current plan is to do an easier walk in the Kintail area on Saturday 10th August and then do the South Glenshiel Ridge on Sunday 11th August.
A possibility for Saturday is A' Chralaig and Mullach Fraoch-choire (estimated time 6 to 8 hours), starting at approx. 9.30am:

And then the South Glenshiel ridge on Sunday (estimated time 9 to 11 hours), starting at approx. 7.30am:
https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/kintail/Glenshielridge.shtml
Everyone is welcome to come along for either one or both days, but please note that the second day does require a good level of fitness.
If interested, then please book your own accommodation. A few of us are going to travel partway on the Friday night and stay at the Glencoe youth hostel (Glen Nevis hostel would be handier but only has private rooms available for that night). And then stay at the Ratagan youth hostel on the Saturday/Sunday nights. Other accommodation options are available, and the links in Walk Highlands are a good starting point.
We can also make car sharing arrangements nearer the time, with the limitation that we will need cars at both ends of the ridge walk on the Sunday. |
