No snow but visibility superb in the beautiful Glen Doll National Nature Reserve. (Munros Completed : Mayar (77), Driesh (78)<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For the first two days the wind strength had meant these two Munros weren’t attainable but Glen Doll is such a beautiful area it’s not a hardship to sit it out and enjoy the scenery and follow some of the wonderful woodland trails. On the third day, it was slightly spotty with rain but nothing more and thankfully the wind had decreased a lot and was now just a stiff breeze. It was also overcast but the cloud cover was very high with the munro tops clear. I wasn\u2019t sure whether it would lift or deteriorate but as it happens the weather continued to improve throughout the day so was glad I had made the decision to go ahead.<\/p>\n

I took it easy at the start and the path up to Corrie Fee was fine, just an easy plod along. Near the top of Corrie Fee by the waterfall, the path seems to become faint often difficult to distinguish from some of the burns. I met a couple above me who were descending who had become slightly lost from the path having taken a line that meant they ended up beneath the crags and could go no further. The temptation is to try to gain the height to soon rather than traverse further round to the East as the warden had told me.<\/p>\n\n
