The Charlie Ramsey Round is the Scottish equivalent of the Bob Graham Round with a circuit of 24 peaks in 24 hours involving some 60 miles and 28000' ascent. Starting from Glen Nevis Youth Hostel it takes in the Mamores, the Loch Treig munros, the Grey Corries, the Aanochs, Carn Mor Dearg and Ben Nevis.
Charlie Ramsay first completed it in 1978, although the shortest of the UK Big 3 it is widely regarded as the toughest due to the limited support points, its high remote terrain and its more testing navigation. Today we decided to reccie leg 2 as the weather forecast was poor. The first summit is Stob Coire Sgriodain at 979 metres, unfortunately i forgot to take a picture.
