Carn Mairg group. Four Munros in Glen Lyon.

A broad 10 Kilometer ridge along the northern side of Glen Lyon, never far from the 910 m contour, links this route of 8 tops which are best ascended from Invervar. We start with a walk up the east bank of the Invervar burn and on upwards until the steep grassy ridge, leading to the top of Carn Gorm, is reached.

The broad spread of the main ridge appears flat and promises a speedy traverse to Carn Mairg taking in the stony flat Munro of Meall Garbh en route. From here we continue east down and up to Meall Liath and take the southern slope leading down to a wide grassy ridge round to the head of Gleann Muilinn and onto the final Munro, Creag Mhor.

The walk is likely to take around 8 hours to ascend the 4 Munros and subsidiary tops and so a reasonable level of endurance will be required.

Fitness and endurance required. There are no technical sections on the route. Duration 8-9 hours.

For Medium, Hard and Extra Hard walks we ask walkers to make sure they have full hillwalking gear, by which we mean definitely the following: Boots, warm clothing, warm/quick drying trousers (not denim jeans), waterproof jacket and over trousers, rucsac, hat, gloves, spare fleece, packed lunch, spare food and drink, small personal first aid kit including any medications, mobile phone, headtorch, and bivvy bag if you have one, and possibly also these other items, depending on personal preference: Gaiters, rucsac cover, walking poles, spare socks, map, compass, GPS, lipsalve, camera.

1. Risk.
The nature of hill walking potentially involves leaders or other participants in providing close assistance to others. For everybody’s protection those people classified as ‘vulnerable adults’ or young people under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an appropriate carer or responsible adult. No special arrangements are available to provide independent supervision for vulnerable people, and the accompanying carer takes full responsibility for them. The carer or parent is best placed to judge the capability of their charges.

2. Children.
We do ask that you only bring children on a walk if you are confident that they will be able to complete it comfortably. At all times, children must be accompanied by an appropriate adult who must take full responsibility for them.

3. Lower age limits.
No children under the age of 16 are allowed on Extra Hard or Hard walks. Children over the age of 12 are permitted on Medium and Easy walks provided that they are accompanied by a responsible adult.

4. Dogs.
In common with other similar events and in consideration for others, dogs are not allowed (guide dogs excepted).

5. Smoking.
Please do not smoke on walks, out of consideration to others.
