Fisherfield 6 Munros
Fisherfield 6 Munros
The Fisherfield Forest - also known as the Great Wilderness - contains the remotest Munros in all Scotland. The effort required to reach them is fully repaid, however, as this is a spectacular region of dramatic peaks and ridges - the views from the summits are often claimed to be the finest amongst the Munros. The route described here is an epic round of all six Munros, starting and finishing at either Shenavall bothy or a nearby wild camp - walking in and out on the previous and following day.
