Join us for a winter mountain walk to bag two Munros on the east side of the Drumochter pass.

The hills in question are Càrn na Caim (941m) and A'Bhuidheanach Bheag (936m) - a straightforward walk in summer conditions, but somewhat more challenging in winter! On the plus side, we start at a height of 400m, with a total ascent of just 824m.

You should have some experience of winter mountaineering and be suitably equipped for this walk, which may require an ice axe and crampons.

We will be following the route described on WalkHighlands.
