Read the full trip report here. This trip report details a summer wild camping trip to Shenavall Bothy with a climb up Ruadh Stac Mor, considered one of the most remote Munros in Scotland. The Munro is located in the Fisherfield Forest, known as the "Great Wilderness" as the area is wonderfully devoid of any settlements. Ambitious folks take on not just one Munro, but the entire "Fisherfield Six" (a mammoth circuit taking in all five Fisherfield Munros and a Corbett). At the time of my visit, all MBA bothies were closed due to Covid-19, so I wild camped rather than staying at Shenavall. That said, Shenavall is a justifiably popular bothy, so the wild camp may very well be the preferred option anyway!
