I’ve been out in the Fannichs today, going up two Munros – An Coileachan and Meall Gorm – from the Lochluichart road. We took the bikes up the access road for Fannich Lodge and walked from a couple of miles before there, heading up around the incredible Garbh Choire Mor onto the ridge.

It’s a pretty steep start but, once we had gained the ridge, it was easy walking for the rest of the day. The old stalkers’ path down from Meall Gorm isn’t in good nick, though; it could do with some drainage being done.

The tops stayed clear for us and we enjoyed some magical views of Slioch, Sgurr Mhor, Ben Wyvis and many more!

Once down at Fannich Lodge, it was a couple of miles along the tarmac track back to the bikes, then a superb descent of around 5 miles back to the road. What a fantastic day!
