Like the idea of a more mobile base for your next Munro?
Fantastic, high quality, heated, 2-4 berth campervans for hire. The perfect winter base: freedom to choose where you go to get the most from the weather, & a cosy base to come back to after a great day on the hill!
Big Tree Campervans – create your own adventure!

Had a much better walk by following the hydro road to the top of the glen (NN109319). The views were great all day.

First visited these hills in December 1993. Memories are of a long tedious slog up the recommended route. Top of Chochuill was cloud bound and well covered in snow. Just to make things worse there was a strong wind. After reaching the summit, discretion proved the better part of valour and a dignified retreat was made. The hills were subsequently revisited in november 1995. The only difference from the previous visit was the lack of snow cover and slightly less wind. Unable to comment on the views as these were conspicuous by their absence.
