A cracking day with a hung thermal inversion. What looked like an innocuous pair of Corbetts on the map was actually a brilliant walk. They are perfectly placed in the middle of all the good stuff.
After lugging the weight of the drone and kit up there, please take time to look at the footage:

Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.

Great video. Looks a good pair of hills even without the glorious inversion.

Fabulous! Thanks for posting that
Inversions are always terrific - the drone really gives a different aspect altogether.
Astonishing how much snow melt there is compared to just a few weeks ago on Lui. Seems only last week I was looking at that great walk report by Alteknacker from his walk at the end of February.

Smashing vid in great conditions. The drones definitely provide an unusual perspective.
I was looking at a similar sort of inversion on Tuesday from much further West, and, I confess, I was pleased for once not to be in it, so that I had the views all day at every elevation!
BTW I had similar battles with soft snow - knee, sometimes thigh deep break-throughs
