Fannichs 9, hike 'n bikeHuwel22/05/2021
A long day back up in the NW highlands with John and wee Islay hitting up the Eastern Fannichs - four munros (and 2 tops) over 16.5miles, and 1450m / 4750ft of ascent in just a smidge under 8 hours, followed by a 4.5hr drive home (with John handling the driving this time). The forecast was for clear visibility, but we ended up in the clouds for most of it, with strong winds resulting in -3C wind chill.. Winter is coming!mproudfoot29/08/2020
I had planned on doing the 4 eastern Munros of the Fannichs range of hills near Ullapool. But the weather had my body had other ideas. Started early around 07:30, suitably welcomed by the midgies from the car all the way round for the full day as there was barely any wind all day. Had to wear a jacket and hood on the two munros in a daft attempt to shield from the buggers. I progressed along the forestry then ATV track up onto Creag Dhubh Fannaich then Beinn Liath Mhor Fannaich (954m), the days first Munro. The views east toward Ben Wyvis and north to Am Faochagach (yesterday's hill) were incredible with the low mist, the hills looked like islands in a sea of cloud. Sgurr Mor (1108m) was the days second Munro and final, as I had ran out of water as I ascended to the Munro Top of Meall nan Peithirean (971m). With the heat I had drunk 3L and was only 1/2 round the planned route. Plus I was ill (vomited for the 1st time on a hike) I suspect due to dehydration while decending Sgurr Morchillyman815/08/2020
Loop of the 4 eastern Fannichs. Weather started off promising but spent day in the clag above 800m. Long boggy walk out to car.cjo04/10/2019

With JW. From West end of Loch Glascarnoch, up Abhainn an Torrain Duibh to Creag Dhubh Fannaich, Beinn Liath Mhor Fannaich, Sgurr Mor, Meall Gorm, An Coileachan. Long descent with painful knee but good views!robertgn08/01/2019
Climbed solo from A835 west of Loch Glascarnoch. Followed path on the West Bank of the Abhainn an Torrain Duibh (not marked on map). Ignore the track through the forest. Continue alongside Abhainn a Ghiuthais Li as far as the footbridge (also unmarked) at 252712. Ascended Meallan Buidhe (skirted summit), An Coileachan, Meall Gorm SE top and main top, Meall nam Peithirean, Sgurr Mor, Beinn Liath Mhor Fannaich. Return via Craig Dhubh Fannaich (summit skirted) and back alongside outward route. Excellent conditions. Fine walk but long and rough walk in/out. Luckily very dry conditions - bogs would hinder progress.jamessteel10024/07/2018

Dropped Smithy at W end of Loch Droma as he wanted to bag Sgurr Mor in particular. Then moved car SE for usual starting point for An Coileachan & Meall Gorm. Followed SMC book route over Munros & tops meeting Smithy just S of Sgurr Mor summit. He had decided to go on to the 2 Munros I had already been over. So I continued over Sgurr Mor & Beinn Liath Mhor Fannaich. Descended SE over Creag Dhubh Fannaich on increasingly rough ground to rejoin the outward route. Pursued by a colossal swarm of midges lower down which engulfed the car while I waited some time for Smithy.NotReallyABagger03/09/2002

With a friend. A long day in the Fannaichs. After ascending Beinn Liath Mhòr Fannaich went south of col slightly to ensure avoiding steep snow field, and then worked back towards col and hence to of Sgùrr Mòr. I descended alone to Càrn na Criche and back. We descended, still in mist, over Meall nam Peithirean, going slightly too far south (ensuring we did not get on to too steep a ground). We then navigated straight to the summit of Creachan Rairigidh. We continued to Meall Gorm and An Coileachan.pwbellarby16/04/1994
