    A Full days walking to Foinaven in assynt of 9 hours or more and approx 18 kilometres in stunning Scottish scenic glens and lochs.
    Its a great place to film videos and take photographs in this unusual landscape. I set off walkig at 7.30 for a full days hike hoping to get some spectacular photos and footage. This vlog will help walkers understand the areas natural beauty
    And complexity of the landscapes surrounding us.
    This is a spectacular mountain.Foinaven & A' Cheir Ghorm Ridge
    Foinaven wild camp in Scotland's Far North (Arkle and Meall Horn). A wild camp set at the bealach between Foinaven and Arkle.
    FOINAVEN TRAVERSE The views afforded to trekkers on the ridge of Foinaven must be amongst the finest in any mountain.
    Foinaven (Ganu Mor) 911m summit view.
    On the summit ridge of Foinaven in Sutherland, Scotland.
    Called Foinaven (Foinne Bhein)-Ganu Mor in the highlands of Scotland Assynt.It is quite close Durness and it can be very difficult
    To climb in wet conditions.Ganu Mor is 911 metres high.The walking routes up Foinaven Foinne Bhein Ganu Mor is walked from either the north or coming from the South side of Foinaven passing loch na Tuadh and following the flanks of arkle mountain. Foinaven and arkle are made up of Cambrian Quartzite
    And the scree becomes very slippery in wet weather conditions. The walk either starts from Strath Dionard Gualin House From The A838 Road. And the main ridge can be walked or hiked by a steep and rough climb. A faster steep route back is down the north ridge side.Another is by the Bealach Horn i by using the track and path from Lone on Loch Stack near ben stack whos path is on the opposite side of the road. The distance to Foinaven trig point is 12 miles approximately and can take 9 to 10 hours depending on your fitness and navigation skills. The views from the ridge of Foinaven is fantastic with panoramic views of
    Arkle Mountain and Meall Horn and ben stack,loch stack Cranstackie and Beinn Spionnaidh mountain's.
    Scotland's mountain's are the most stunning in the uk in all weathers.A very long day would be to tackle Foinaven and Arkle or to wild camp
    And you will find plenty of good spots to youre wildcamping in these special mountain's.Foinaven and Arkle terrain is shattered quartz
    And should not underestimate the dangers of bad weather that can change at any moment, so a map and compass should always be at hand for those occations.

    Brings back memories of when I did Foinaven 8 years ago. I too used the bike to cycle down the srath Dionard, left the bike in the same place as you, but continued down past Loch Dionard to climb the stalkers path up to the Bellach Horn where I then took to the ridge all the way back to the Corbett. A top mountain! Great video!

    Great stuff Alan - just recovering from a hip replacement op so your film of Foinaven has inspired me to get mountain fit again that bit quicker. Was last there in 1977 and thought then it was a mysterious and underrated mountain ( very much quieter for not being a Munro ) . Your film has convinced me to get back up north to this fine area - Scotlands answer to the Dolomites ! X Dave W

    Thanks, very educative. I'd never heard of Foinaven and have never knowingly seen the landscape in the North of Sutherland. Amazing views of the North Atlantic. I live near the Bavarian Alps and what you did there is called a "Gratwanderung" here. We use the term figuratively when you have to strike a very diplomatic line in a conversation. Veer slightly off course and you fall rapidly out of favour.
