Glen Clova - Mayar and Dreish

Our first trip with Dan and two Munros took us into Glen Clova. The glen is stunning! The green pastures (and the road) were full of pheasant. No one would go hungry here! The walk out of the car park winds up through the woods and into one of the most spectacular corries. The climb up along the waterfall was steep. It started raining about halfway up and not long after turned to snow. It was Aoum's first experience having snow falling and she loved it! I did too. The top of Mayar was windy and cold and started snowing heavily so we didn't hang around too long. Dan had picked the right direction for the circuit as we has the wind and snow at our backs for most of the time. As we walked toward Dreish the clouds lifted a bit and we had some great views. The walk down was along the side a narrow cut and very rocky. Ankle twisting stuff! 4 hours and 14 km.
