dreish and mayar

[ken reid]

poped down to glen doll this morning in great weather conditions,from the car park at the fc picnick site I made a direct approach up driesh via the scorrie once you get the steep ground out of the way there is a gentle steady slope to the summit from the summit trig point you can see mayar in the background and the traverse between the two presents no real challenge in good weather, the distance between them is about 3.2k from the summit of mayar I drooped down to the head of corrie fee Ware there is a good path descending into corrie fee with great views of the waterfall, I was back at the car in around 4hrs 40 min I will upload the pics when I get back down to Essex.
