hey
Some good pics there, good going. Your 2nd pic was that heading up the SNUB, the steep part above loch Brandy ??

Did you manage to reach the corbett or was Loch Brandy your Goal, good going regardless though. :D

Nice pics.

Handy too see the conditions up there. After working over the festive period i've now got some days off and Glen Clova is one potential destination.

Far better way to spend the start to a new year than waking up feeling like death.

DOH! :D

The worst thing is i double checked to make sure it wasn't from last year (which in my head was of course 2009!).

I started to do this walk last week, but abandoned it due to feeling like Bambi on Ice going up the hill :shock:

Micro spikes didn't help here.

Its a fab walk though, went up to Loch B. and Green Hill in the Autumn.

One I will do again in the right conditions.
