Big, wild, and dramatic, the twin peaks of Carn Eighe and Mam Sodhail are the anchor points of this memorable and fairly challenging round. The highest two hills north of the Great Glen, their domed summits offer predictably wide-reaching views, but for fans of ridge walking it's the long eastern ridges that are the real highlights of the range.

27.20 km, 1,940m ascent, 9 – 11 hours

In reply to Dan Bailey - UKHillwalking.com:

My third traverse over Mam Sodhail one June day was rewarded with cerise alpines decorating the route. I was by myself and it was such a rewarding walk because of this. As for Beinn 'Yooney' missed it out on my first traverse, but have ticked it twice since. Once hiring a boat up Loch Malardoch when it was a challenge as the water level was extremely low. But the greater traverse of these hills on a fine day is a testing but great walk!
