[Trip Index] [Munro Index] [Home] 10th August 1991   Aonach Air Chrith Maol Chinn Dearg Map We picked these from Ralph Storer's book '100 Best Routes on Scottish Mountains'. They're two Munros midway along the South Shiel ridge. What we should have done is ignore RS, start at one end and walk along the whole ridge, which is actually what I did do 13 years later - see here. Never mind. Saw some deer. It was cloudy at the top with only a few brief moments clear enough to see anything.
