Route:
This is an excellent, straight-forward walk which optionally includes the Corbett An Ruadh Stac.
It can be extended to include the two Munros Sgorr Ruadh and Beinn Liath Mhor
as here. There is an alternative start at Annat, near Torridon.
Terrain: Paths on map are all well-engineered, good paths, good terrain.
However, there are many tiresome unnecessary bends in the path up Choire Ghairbh
from the Fionn-abhainnn valley at NG94864899 to Bealach a'Choire Gharbh at NG9313548797.
Weather: Heavy showers. Cloud base at 585m. 11°C–12°C.
