I am hoping to bag the three Munros and 5 tops between Loch Cluanie and Loch Affric (Carn Gluasaid to Tigh Mor na Seilge) sometime soon. A look at the 1:50,000 OS map suggests that an approach from the east (cycling up the valley of the river Doe) will a) be more scenic than the approach from the south and b) avoids the need for the 300m re-ascent back over Sgurr nan Conbhairean. However, no-one seems to recommend this route, with most opting for the out and back from the A87 and the normally-reliable Irvine Butterfield suggesting a crazy horseshoe from Alltbeithe YH.
So 2 questions:
Q1) Am I missing something?
and
Q2) How far can you drive up the River Doe valley?
