                                                                                                                                                                                                                    What the day includes -
We will meet at 8am and from there start our hike , pulling up the shoulder of Am Bathach pretty much right from the roadside. A fine ridge takes us over to the Corbett summit, a more interesting approach to our munro.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      From Am Bathach we will descend to Bealach a Choinich and continue towards Ciste Dubh, though one of the smaller Munros in the area it’s an impressive mountain! After a well deserved break and bite to eat we will retrace our steps back down to the bealach and pick up the path for a walk back out down the Glen and back to the cars.
