Crianlarich and Mamlorn Mountains
The Mamlorn hills are remote and wild. The highest peak in this group is Beinn Heasgarnich 1076m (herbs and garnish is easier to remember!). I've had two three day expeditions in this area. We had nothing but snow and rain on the first so I went back again and luckily had nothing but ice and sunshine. These hills give great views across Crianlarich and the hills to the south. Ben More and Stob Binnein are the best known but I prefer the M-shape of Cruach Adrain, much more rewarding.
