Join Douglas for this short walk up The Sow of Atholl - a Corbett just off the A9, halfway between Blair Atholl and Dalwhinnie. This is very much a warm-up (and an excuse to break up the drive north) for the main event of the Glen Strathfarrar Munros tomorrow. Even so, it was a nice wee walk and is a great option to anyone driving up or down the A9 looking for a chance to stretch their legs. Probably one of the easiest Corbetts you'll find, given the high starting point!
