Mountain Description
|
|
|
The shape of Mayar is difficult to define as it is effectively a summit on the SE edge of a high moorland plateau. Its NW slopes are consequently gentle as are the NE ,for about 1km, from the summit, then the ground falls away with crags overlooking Glen Doll. There is an access route through the crags SSE of the Fee Burn waterfall. S and E of the summit the slopes are moderate to steep with some crags and to the E gentle slopes lead down to the main access path on the shank of Drumfollow and to a narrow coll connecting to Dreish.

Dreish and Mayar
|
The recommended route through Corrie Fee, with its attractive waterfall, has a steep section on grass through rocks. This is not very difficult, and avoids ascending and descending by the Shank of Drumfollow route. Generally an easy route.

6 in a day! Started at the car park at the Glen Doll reserve, traversed up Jocks Road and climbed Tolmount, then onto Carn An Turic, Carn of Claise and finally Tom Buidhe. Sat at the cairn on Buidhe deciding what to do next an dmade the decision to avoid Jocks Road going
back and traversed across to Mayar and finally Dreish. Absoluteky exhausted after the decent back to the car park but buzzing with satisfaction. Great day with my mate Steve, although weather was great there is little to make me want to go back, nothing technical here....except trying to find the unassuming 6 bumps.

A tip on this walk is to take poles to enable a safe walk up Corrie Fee as in places this can be steep. When doing this Munro you would be as well navigating over Dreish at the same visit. For the more adventurous you could descend using a map and bearing to desent to the river and to the Glen Doll hut.
