BMC

[Johnny Corbett]

Found this walk to be pretty hard going, the initial climb being steep and on uneven ground. Once on the ridge the terrain doesn't really improve as it a bit undulating and it's not until you're almost at the 848m mark that things get easier. It was windy as we climbed which didn't help though suprisingly the wind died down as we reached the 848 mark. You also have some crags to negotiate but as the ridge is wide they are not a problem. We did get some good views heading from the top to the summit although sadly Bidean nam Bian was in cloud. Once reaching the summit we retraced our steps back to the start, chatting to a couple of gents heading up on our way down.

Mountain Thyme a Corbett? You have seen the light You'll have a fair few to choose from in Glen Etive, it makes for good camping though, so a few nights camping could see you getting them all done
