Corbetts walking guide / Vol 1: South of the Great Glen Cicerone 1 Cicerone | 9781852846527

Walking the Corbetts describes routes up all 112 Scottish Corbetts (Scotland's 2500-2999ft mountains) south of the Great Glen, covering the Southern Uplands, Southern Highlands, Cairngorms, Jura and Arran. These Scottish hills are every bit as interesting as the Munros, and often clear when the Munros are in cloud. Part of a 2-volume set. Seasons: The Corbetts can be climbed at any time of year, but this guide assumes readers are climbing when the hills are free of snow. Centres: Southern Uplands, Southern Highlands, Cairngorms, Jura and Arran. Difficulty: Many of the Corbetts are rarely climbed which means that often the only paths are animal tracks. This does mean that the going can be relatively tough and navigation can be demanding in mist. Very few of the Corbetts in this volume involve any scrambling, but many involve ascents and descents on steep slopes. Must See: 112 highlights in 95 routes, including Merrick, The Cobbler, Goatfell, Morven and Ben Vrackie.
