We went up to Kintail last w/e to stay in a bothy(Camban) overnight and bag a few hills the next day.Got up onto the first ridge and realised the snow was a bit more avalanche-ish than anticipated and decided not to risk it.
Thought I'd post some details up,as its well worth a trip to the bothy alone,with some of Scotlands finest mountains flanking the route,a triple waterfall(Allt Ghranda) on the way,and ending up in a remote glen with access to some great hills,if you can be arsed.
Park at the Kintail outdoor centre,Morvich,near the caravan park,and follow the track up the rhs of the River Chroe..Its just a case of following this track all the way past the Allt Ghranda,and on to Camban.
Total distance around 10 miles to Camban from Morvich.Total ascent appx 350m.Took us appx 3hrs with full gear and a shared 10kg bag of coal.
