Melting in the Mamores

Route: Binnein Mòr and Na Gruagaichean, Mamores

Munros: Binnein Mòr, Na Gruagaichean

Date walked: 12/07/2025

Time taken: 7.25 hours

Distance: 16.25km

Ascent: 1327m

30 degrees forecasted, to hike or not to hike?

With an alarm set for 345am, to allow me to drive to Kinlochleven and break most of the ascent before the heat really ramped up.

Followed WH route, taking in Sgòr Eilde Beag & Binnein Mor South Top also

Cracking views, no breeze on top so roasty toasty. Spent half an hour sitting on top of each Munro summit before I could drag myself along. The views in all directions today were phenomenal
