Glen Etive to Forest Lodge

This will be a challenging and beautiful walk right through big remote mountain country from Glen Etive to Forest Lodge near Bridge of Orchy.  We walk up Glen Ceitlein to the high bealach underneath munro of  Meall nan Eun, down to Loch Dochard and finally Forest Lodge. This will give a fine reconnaissance walk for those who wish to explore the Glen Etive peaks in the future.

 

The remoteness of the high bealach will give stunning views of the surrounding mountains and flanking munros but we won’t dally too long as the route down is on trackless and wet ground. We’ll also have a little bit of excitement crossing over the stepping stones at the mouth of Loch Dochard, all of which can be safely managed.

 

This will be a long walk and some endurance and fitness will be needed to get the most out of the day. Walking poles and gaiters are advised.

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. For comfort for the journey home please pack dry socks and training shoes to leave in the mini bus.

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.
