This walk takes in the single Gulvain which is located to the north of Loch Oil in Gleann Fionnlighe. Parking just opposite the Strontian junction off the main A830 Fort William to Mallaig road a good track/path takes you all the way on this in/out route.
A grey day which ended a bit wet but very enjoyable.

Hi Marie, Really glad you enjoy our outings and you use them as intended as a resource for your walking. Just wish this sort of thing was around when I start out :). Cheers, Charlie.

Hi Frank, I've always enjoyed this one which makes a good winter day. Covering half the distance on the bike will certainly take the time down and simplify things. Cheers, Charlie.

The lack of snow is very noticable, looks more like May than January. The walk in along the glen looks good for a mountain bike to cut down on time.

Hi Adam, Your right, the winter is taking it’s time in arriving. Possible a sign of things for future years. The track is certainly adequate for cycling to help eat into the time although the walk isn’t too bad. Many thanks for watching. Cheers, Charlie.

Hi James, It’s a good single to for this time of year. As you will have seen there isn’t any snow worries at the moment and the bike will give quicker access. Fingers crossed you get a view as the top is its well positioned for a full array of tops. Enjoy your day and I’ll look forward to viewing your trip. Cheers, Charlie.

Good timing with this 1 Charlie before the big winds moved in. Not looking forward to 60mph tops this weekend but cabin fever's keeping me optimistic for some part of Scotland to find a fairly sheltered ascent! Atb, Steve.
@charliemccartney7055
@charliemccartney7055 2 года назад
Hi Steve, Its that time of year to pick the weather slots for the tops. It’s frustrating when the good days are midweek and the weekend horrendous, less of a problem for us now but I can appreciate your cabin fever. Hope you get a clear slot for your next outing and a chance to escape for a while. Cheers, Charlie.

I climbed Gulvain in August 2015, just two days before my "compleation". So I left it until nearly last. It's a bit of a loner. There are great views on a clear day. Cycling in makes it a lot easier.
@charliemccartney7055
@charliemccartney7055 2 года назад
Hi Keith, I agree the bike simplifies the day but it’s a good opportunity to get some leg miles in for the year ahead. I’ve always enjoyed this top and agree the views are stunning on a clear day. I bet you were buzzing on this one with your compleation just around the corner. Cheers, Charlie.

Charlie, have you ever gone from Gulvain to Loch Arkaig? Are the rivers crossable? You could go into Knoydart that way?
@charliemccartney7055
@charliemccartney7055 2 года назад
@@geoffreysutton760 I haven't gone north from Gulvain but certainly possible to get to the head of the loch. I have tackled the two Munros to the west from Glen Pean but it isn't a route I'd recommend. It such a remote area to get into and that road along Loch Arkaig is the worst in Scotland and always has me stopping due to travel sickness.

Hi Charlie, I must admit I haven't heard of this peak before, was that a badly damaged bothy on route? A great shame as can save lives! I am pleased to see little or no snow for folks energy bills but the mountains look great with the white stuff! Best wishes to you both! Mark.

Hi Mark, It’s an old farm building I think but it’s slowly falling down as the years go by. A wee bit snow on the tops would great just to get a feel of winter but we might not be lucky. Cheers, Charlie.

@@Alabamafwee The hills a busier now then they have ever been, which is good to see. It's just a great way to keep active although they don't get any easier. I've generally been 5-6 years between completing rounds and its always the last twenty that are the hardest as they tend to be all over the place. Enjoy you final Munro when it comes.
