Not surprisingly hill walkers have fallen into different groups regarding the restrictions.
Some people need rules and these rules must be adhered to pretty much no matter what. The hazy rules/advice regarding the 5 miles doesnt suit some and has been converted to 5 miles maybe 7 maximum, and anyone travelling from Inverness to Ben Wyvis is selfish and irresponsible.
The summit from Ben Wyvis is about 7 or 8 miles as the crow flies from Dingwall. Probably acceptable to most of the strict rule/ advice obeyers. Once you get out of Dingwall up past the new distillery it would be possible to follow a fairly direct route to the summit, but a lot tougher task and a bit more risky than the usual route.
Here is where the rules/advice starts to fall apart at the seams for the people who think the rule is 5 miles.
The drive from Dingwall to the easy ascent of Wyvis is 18 miles
You are no longer in the broadly 5 mile category and are not heeding the advice, so you are fair game for criticism and if you had an unfortunate accident you are also fair game to be charged with a serious criminal offence.
If you had a similar accident because you took the extreme route as the crow flies from Dingwall it is all smiley happy faces.
In reality if you did drive from Dingwall or Inverness to climb Wyvis I would be very surprised if the police or MRT perceived you to be breaking any law, but probably best only to call them as a very last resort and try and help yourself or each other off the hill.
Regarding the spread or catching of the corona. I think the risk would be far smaller climbing Ben Wyvis than going for a drive through takeaway in Inverness.
So I have read the advice and rules and decided I wont be having a KFC tomorrow.
