This Corbett had been on my to do list for a while and I knew that as I was in the area this would be the hill to climb for such a day as this. With the roadside car park full at Altnafeadh and not wishing to damage the underside of my car on the Southside car park ( The Buachaille) entrance, I parked further West towards Glencoe where there is an area for approx three cars.

Nice one Rod, notice you are busy knocking off the Corbett's
Glencoe was busy when we drove through at the weekend, especially the layby for the big Buckil
Loved the photo looking down onto the road

Ooh, that’s a hill with lovely views!
I haven’t seen Glen Coe from this side yet, must amend!

I must admit I'm saving this one for winter conditions. With such views it would be a superb treat on a crispy, blue-skye winter day.
We had a good look at it earlier this year from the Wee Buachaille (actually I'd love to repeat this one in snow, too

Great report of a hill that has recently caught my eye, mostly because of the superb views of the Buachaille, I think you had the right idea in keeping this one of a clear day.

I think your right, perfect for a clear cold frosty day with a bit of snow on the peaks! Look forward to seeing your photographs and report

Hi Sarah, I look forward to seeing Penny in the foreground with the Buachaille in the background, that would be a classic picture. Hurry up and do it before the snow comes!

November, hopefully, probably the last chance this year, but we've had a great time in Scotland over 2014, already planning for next year. Cheers
