Driesh and Mayar

Driesh and Mayar are two munros (mountains over 3000ft) standing close together at the head of Glen Doll.
They are usually climbed together by heading up the Kilbo path that runs between the two then heading off to either side to take in the two hills. On our day out yesterday, we approached from a different angle by heading up the very steep Corrie Fee (a much harder but more interesting approach) then returning by the Kilbo path.

It was indeed a glorious day, and not at all dreich :)

Great sceneries. Must be hard to climb.:)

The hard bits are really quite short, and on these hills there are decent paths which makes a difference. Well worth it for the views at the top!

I do hope that head had some Factor 50 slapped on it (More health & safety guidance from one who knows). And are those two cheeky bare ankles that I see? Ohhhh... Adders? Mr Dangerous :)

Yes factor 50 and a hat most of the time!
It was a day for shorts (me too!), but adders not a problem, a much bigger concern is ticks which seem to be particularly bad this year.
