Oh that was a great read, looks an excellent route, perhaps a tad strenuous for me :lol: :lol: This hill is pretty high on the to-do list so many thanks for the info, it's an area I don't know at all but am now really looking forward to exploring. Love the last photo, the dogs look angelic - but I expect that's just for the camera :lol: :lol:

Thanks, it's a great hill, I didn't mind the walk in either but that's maybe because the weather was lovely :lol:
Aye they behave sometimes, on another note I just realised it was Roy's 50th new Munro, he's reached that in a year and a half, took me three years I'm prob holding them both up and be best leaving them to it :lol: :lol:

Hi Beaner, I liked that a lot, that certainly has wetted my appetite for this Corbett along with Streap sooner rather than later. Were there many peat hags to avoid between the two? As has been said by others I did not think of this Corbett having a narrow ridge, I suppose all the attention is given to it's neighbour Streap. Yep I guess it has to be the Two Corbetts for me on a fine clear hopefully dry day :D

Lots os squelchy ground between Gulvain and Braigh nan Uamhachan Rod, real rough ground. Couldn't say what the other side between Streap and BnU was like.....I was surprised too with the ridge although it is only narrow in a few places but enjoyable nonetheless :D
