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!

This route is actually 41km long with ascents of app 1770 metres!
Missing out Carn an Righ and Glas Tulaichen reduces it to 30km!
Strenuous with lots of deep peat hags and tussocky heather, few tracks, very slow going. Using a bike still takes about 12hours. Ascents up Beinn lutharn Mhor, Carn an Righ and Glas Tulaichen very steep.
One for the masochists!
