Summary
The peaks on offer are all situated in the spectacular Highland mountain ranges but just because they are not the selected few popular peaks that everyone knows, does not make getting to their summits a less worthwhile experience.
These peaks are Grahams, Corbetts or Munros and each can easily be completed in a day walk. However, it is worth bearing in mind that most of the peaks have small or non-existent paths so a good level of hill fitness and the confidence to walk over rough ground is required.
