On Sunday 12th
January a group of 8 AMC members took advantage of a favourable forecast and walked
up Morven from Tullich cemetery, taking this more interesting but less
travelled route up the popular Corbett. The
track wends its way up through beautiful forest before emerging at the foot of
Morven.
A rough and spongy ascent up to
872m follows giving superb views over the neighbouring Aberdeenshire hills and
glens.

| Picnicing (again) at the top of the steep ascent, homemade granola bar was a welcome treat (thanks Helen) (Mark, Derek, Helen, Chris, Morna, Andrew & Judith) |
30mph winds and sub-zero temperatures had us layering up on the top with a 'feels-like' temperature of -10°C.

| A wintery summit approach |

The return was by retracing our steps back to the car.
Thanks to Morna for suggesting and organising the walk, it was great to see some new members joining the group too.
