- The weather was set to be good on Saturday 13th of April. Having only been out Munro Bagging once since so far this year, I once again headed to the Cairgorms to visit the stunning Corrie Fee, and to bag not one but two Munros in the area...Mayar & Driesh.
Mayar is a mountain in the Grampians, in Angus, Scotland.[2] It is usually climbed together with its near neighbour, Driesh.[3] At an elevation of 928m,[1] it is the 564th highest peak in the British Isles and the 534th tallest in Scotland.[4]
Driesh (Gaelic: Dris) is a mountain located in the Grampians of Scotland. Apart from Mount Keen (939 m/3,080 ft), it is the most easterly of the Munro peaks.
Corrie Fee is a glacier-carved corrie situated at the head of Glen Clova in the Angus Glens of Scotland. It forms part of Corrie Fee National Nature Reserve (NNR), which is managed by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and lies within the Cairngorms National Park. The adjoining Corrie Sharroch and the slopes of Craig Rennet are also included in the NNR.[1]
The corrie is considered to be one of the finest examples of a glacial corrie in the British Isles, with its steep cliffs forming a natural amphitheatre. The wider reserve hosts many rare arctic-alpine plants, including the largest area of montane willow scrub in Scotland, which is found at Corrie Sharroch. The importance of the area's flora has been recognised by botanists since the 18th Century, and the site is now protected by numerous national and international conservation designations. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Wow what a great video Douglas. I’m going up to the Cairngorms at the weekend so hoping to do these two Munros and Ben Macdui and cairngorm. Corrie Fee is just amazing. Thank you so much. I’m just at 13 Munros now and my two beagles have done 10 with me so far. Long way to go though. I found your video both helpful, interesting and inspiring so thank you. Best wishes 🥾🥾🤩
Was up doing the cairnwell Munros at glenshee a few weeks ago and noticed the cold wind just drained my phone battery and kept saying it was unavailable. You got clear and stunning views though. Just a shame about the wind! 🙈
Thanks for this video! I watched this last night, and we climber Mayar and Driesh in absolutely stunning weather today. It's only our 3rd and 4th munro, but the best so far.
Lovely video Douglas. The views are great with good information. Well done on your 25th Munro. Thanks Steve.
Sorry Steve, don’t know why this wasn’t replied to. Thanks very much pal for the kind comment. 😁🙌🏼
Was first up Driesh when aged 12 in my wellies and my palls old school blazer so health and safety were out the window but many hills were to follow. Now in my 70s it's the quantock hills in Somerset for me.
Doing these on Saturday, Munro 5 + 6 for me. Awesome video!
Thanks Gavin. You’ll love every moment of this beautiful place. Hope you get great weather and views.
Best Regards,
Douglas. 😁🙌🏼⛰🏴
Great film again Douglas, It is indeed a beautiful walk in through Corrie Fee and walk back via the Kilbo path. The trees that have been sadly chopped down are as a commercial use sadly, The Kilbo path used to be totally enclosed with little light getting through and it was stunning. Congrats on the 25th Munro, Always perks you up when you reach a milestone :)))
Hi Pete, I first saw Corrie Fee on your video. Couldn’t believe such a place existed in Scotland so thanks for the inspiration to finally get there buddy.
It felt really sad going through that tree felled area. The stumps were all healthy so I suspected it wasn’t for safety reasons.
Same yesterday at the Glen Lyon horseshoe the trees in the area near the bottom of your video from your trip there are all gone.
Mayar & Driesh were a brilliant day out and the weather was great if just a little bit to blowy! Lol
😁🙌🏼⛰🏴
Where is this im heading up in the motor home on friday id like to know where you park ?
Is there a good path all the way young great video
I am in my teens and I am doing these soon within the next month it will be my second and third. Great video was looking for someone to tell if it was worth it. Thank you
Hi Zander, thanks for commenting buddy.
In my opinion they are all worth it, I haven’t climbed one yet that’s not been enjoyable, (better if you get a good day weather wise). These two were brilliant, but I have to say that the Corrie Fee that is at the beginning of this video was just breathtaking and I’m sure you will agree when you see it for yourself.
Good luck when you go,
Best Regards,
Douglas.
Really excited!! I subscribed
