Info

From the summit of Ruadh-stac Mor you must follow the route to the outflow of Loch Coire Mhic Fhearchair. The route involves retracing your steps back off Ruadh-stac Mor, and descend the scree gulley that starts at grid ref: 951603. We now have an extra check/ dibber point here (top of scree slope) to prevent athletes taking a shorter route off the top. The gulley is steep and scree (small loose rocks) filled. Please follow the route closely (this is required for nature conservation reasons and will be closely monitored by the landowners). TAKE EXTREME CARE WHEN IN THE GULLEY – BOTH FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, AND ALSO THE SAFETY OF OTHERS – DO NOT DISLODGE ROCKS ONTO PEOPLE BELOW YOU. The marshals at the top of the gulley may make you wait for a short period to allow a sufficient gap between you and the groups below in order to create a safer zone in the case of dislodged rocks. From the bottom of the scree slope head for the outflow of the loch – the path becomes indistinct across a boulder field for approx. 500metres. There are small paths along both sides of the loch. Take 30 seconds to turn round and enjoy the spectacular view of Loch Coire Mhic Fhearchair and the Triple Buttresses – one of the most amazing mountain scenes in Scotland. From the loch outflow the path becomes larger and more easily followed. However, you must continue to exercise extreme care – you cannot relax yet!. Stay on the path initially heading south, then south east. You will come across a cairn at grid ref: 934594. This marks a split in the path – take the lefthand option. The path is now shared with the ‘low level’ athletes who will be heading in the opposite direction – give them a ‘high-five’ and cheery comment as you pass each other. You will re-join the tarmac road in Glen Torridon near a car park. Turn right and head down to the finish line a few kilometres away in Torridon village. The course on the mountain will have marshals at locations where turns are necessary. The route is generally easily followed. In the event of poor weather, you should be prepared and able to navigate – this is why we insist on you carrying a map and compass. You should not need them, but you will be glad you have them if you do have to navigate. Mountain Rescue Team personnel will be on the mountain in strategic locations. CELTMAN! Race Manual 2022 14
