Peter, Andy, Andy, Robin and Rob and myself had a 2 day camp in the remote area of the Letterewe (or Fisherfield) forest NE of Loch Maree. We crossed by boat from the Loch Maree Hotel near western end of the map and then walked to the southern end of the Fionn Loch. After an evening ascent of Beinn Lair, the next day we then had a 10 hour day wandering over the ridges and lochs around A Mhaighdean and Ruadh Stac Mor, one of my very favourite areas of Scotland, followed by a stunning sunset over the loch. Great walking, but as always it's the company and that makes my mountain trips so memorable.

All the pics enlarge a lot if you click on them...particularly handy for the map!!

The end of the first day ...a wonderful glow of late sun filled the valley

Beinn Tharsuinn Chaol, an lonely pathless ridge with the Gorm Loch Mor on the left and Lochan Fada on the right....the nearest road is 6 miles beyond the far end of the loch
