From the car park at the Glen Strathfarre Sgurr na Ruaidhe, Carn nan Gobhar, Sgurr a Choire Ghlais, Creag Ghorm a Bhealaich, Sgurr Fhuar-thuill and Sgurr na Fearstaig. 15.5 miles, in cloud the whole time and very windy. Exhausting walk, especially having to run the last 4 miles to get out of the park on time.Lazylizzie25/09/2021
A long day in the wilds of Strathfarrar - after clambering out of a frost-covered tent in Roy Bridge at 5am, followed by a 1.5hr drive up to the entrance gate into Glen Strathfarrar, I parked up and cycled the 8miles through the glen to the end point of the (clockwise) munro circuit. Then a 15.5 mile walk with nearly 1700m/ 5500ft of ascent over the four munros, I had a decent dose of the jelly legs by the time I got back to the bike. Another 8 mile ride back out of the glen, and the car was a welcome sight. Great day up on the ridge though - one to remember!mproudfoot27/09/2020

En route to RBS HWC Kintail weekend. I stayed overnight at Inverness YH. I changed in car whilst waiting for gate to glen to open at 0900. Midges at car parking space again. Cloud cover on tops but cleared occasionally, especially once I was on way down. Good stalkers path up onto ridge. I visited tops in relatively short time. No view from most westerly top. Up and down in good time and reached Kintail early. No ill effects from back, hip, knee except a little pain in knee whilst driving.langskill24/08/2012

The usual clockwise round of the six main Strathfarrar summits with Smithy on an overcast but clear day. Spent too much time lingering & as we had only one car parked near the start, I ran down off the last peak & started half-jogging the road fearing the wrath of the gatekeeper at Struy for rocking up after the 6pm deadline. Nice ladies who had two cars drove up & offered me a lift back up the glen to collect mine - I had run past them on the descent! Picked up Smithy & the three cars arrived at the gate at 6.20 although the gatekeeper didn't seem too bothered... (Again on 31/5/07 with Shaky on a sunny day which we paced better giving us enough time to walk back up the glen for the car & get back to the gate by 6.)NotReallyABagger02/06/2001
Final top then down to road, then luckily managed to bag a lift back to car. Did the usual 4 Munro round anticlockwise on very sunny day.Dugswell203/06/2000
Lovely day. Jon's introduction to the Munros.dal02/06/2000
