Endurance Rating
3

Sustained steep ascents and descents, long-distance, stamina required, suitable for fit walkers. Have you had recent experience of walking for 6-8 hours? Have you recently walked up (and down) a mountain of over 1000m (3000ft) in height without physical distress? Do you regularly play an aerobic sport pretty much every week? If your answer is "No", we'd guess you'd be happier doing a walk rated a level lower than the one you’ve just read! As noted previously, we're into FUN so we don't want you to miss out by overdoing it.

| Walk description
The walk starts gently with a height gain of 150m over 5km up Glen Rosa, possibly imbuing a false sense of security in respect of the next couple of kilometres climbing 630m! Heading up to The Saddle at the head of the glen there is a chance of spotting mountain wildlife. From The Saddle a much sterner climb gains the top of Cir Mhor and fabulous views down both Glens Rosa & Sannox. From the summit, the route descends to the Bealach with A’Chir and thence down in to Fionn Choire and the opposite views of Glen Rosa back to the start.
