Waking up beside Loch Maree, we get packed up and head along the trail to Lettewe, a small settlement of a few houses that you can only access by foot or boat. After lunch here taking in the views of Beinn Eighe, we head up the postman track to Fionn Loch where we will camp for the night.
Today we have the opportunity to take on a few Munros if people feel up for it. To the East of the trail, we have A' Mhaighdean and Ruadh Stac Mor before heading down to the magnificent bothy of Shenavall, where we plan to camp close by with the imposing An Teallach close for the adventurous next day.
Waking up under the impressive fortress of An Teallach, our objective for today. We head up the track and break NW to head for Sail Liath, here we wind our way along the ridge passing Lord Berkley's Seat to the summit of Sgurr Fiona and onto Bidein a' Ghlas Thuill before returning to our camp at Shenavall.
The last day of this magic trip we pack up and head along the track taking in the sheer size of An Teallach and what we done the day before, enjoying the views as we wander along to the A832 near Dundonnell.
