Acting The Goet

My first Corbett of 2015 and first since Martha was born. En route to Aberdeen to drop off the Golf at Jim's, I was looking for a shortish trek so Mount Battock was out. The Goet from Wheen looked a good option and as I drove into Glen Clova, the view to Glen Doll cemented my decision. The walk along the land rover trek was easy and once high enough to see Loch Wharral, this was a very rewarding walk. I could still see where the loch was partially frozen over and the last vestiges of Winter are still in evidence. Once up on to Ben Tirran, I had views as far as Lochnagar, Mayar, Driesh and Mount Keen. I think I could even see the Lomond hills in Fife. An extraordinary hill for such little effort. Great to be out.
