Inver is the Jacobites Mountaineering Club’s hut, just outside Achnasheen beside Loch Gowan, with great views of the surrounding mountains. It’s a simple, friendly place rather than a luxury one. There’s a good kitchen with plenty of cookers, a living room with an open fire (bring your own coal), two dorms with mattresses, toilets and wash basins. There’s no mains electricity, no power sockets or fridge, and no showers, though the lighting works from a renewable system and there’s good mobile signal. Parking is in a layby, followed by a short walk over a bridge with wheelbarrows provided for gear, so bring a head torch for after dark.
It’s right on the edge of some of the best hill country in the north-west. The big Fannich range, with its string of Munros, is on the doorstep, and Beinn Eighe, Liathach and Slioch are a drive away around Torridon and Kinlochewe. In the other direction, Sgorr Ruadh and Beinn Liath Mhor above Achnashellach make a good day, with a rugged, remote feel. October brings stunning autumn colour, but also shorter days, so pack for cold weather.
