The area includes Ben Nevis and Carn Mor Dearg, The Mamores, The Aonachs and The Grey Corries. An impressive 20 Munros are split equally by Glen Nevis and the waters of Abhainn Rath.

Includes all major peaks above 600m.
Forecast was for a very windy day and a considerable Avalanche forecast, so plan A and plan B were dumped and plan C was brought into play. Park in Glen Nevis upper carpark and head all the way up the Water of Nevis stopping at Steall Ruins to assess both winds and snow conditions. Winds were not as forecast , but there were some gusts coming along periodically which were in the region of around 40 mph.
