Walking can be dangerous and all walkers must take personal responsibility for their own safety. You should always carry a backup means of navigation and not rely on a single phone, app or map.

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. Kevsbald had suggested the idea of another Friday-Saturday overnighter with wild camp, this time heading in on the Friday evening over the Corbetts of Carn Liath and Culardoch before tackling the giant Munros of Ben Avon and Beinn a'Bhuirdh on the Saturday.
CurlyWurly was also in the mix and needless to say, I thought the whole thing was a rip-roaring idea, even if I had climbed the two Corbetts last autumn. In saying that, I didn't get any visibility at all from the top of Culardoch that day, so I reckoned a wee return trip would not go amiss. As I thought about it a bit more, however, and consulted the map both real - OS sheet 36, and virtual - this site , I began to formulate a cunning plan of Baldrickesque proportions.
Not being encumbered by tedious and inconvenient work commitments this particularly fine Friday the 13th, I would head up a bit earlier than planned and walk in across the mysteriously named Corbett of Brown Cow Hill from a start point at Cock Bridge, meeting with the other two guys at a prearranged wild campsite.
But wait - even more cunning was in the offing! You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
