A great days outing up the munro Slioch which is one of the great sights of the Northern Highlands dominating the south eastern end of Loch Maree. The only straight forward way up this munro is from the east starting from Kinlochewe along the river and then up Gleann Bianasdail, and then onto a traverse of Slioch.
There are two summit points and the northern one is the true summit point also giving a splendid view over the Fisherfield wilderness.
