We are now looking to bring our priority projects to fruition.

Towards this we have already made great steps towards attracting funding into Lochaber by reaching agreement with the a brand leading Mountaineering Clothing manufacturer (North Face) to support our project ideas for the Allt a’Mhuilinn North Face/Torlundy Forest Block approach to Ben Nevis.
