Mountain Description
|
|
|
Corserine is a large spreading mountain in the middle of a long ridge which runs from Coran of Portmark (623m) in the N to Little Millyea (578m) in the S and can be climbed as part of the traverse of this 13km long ridge. Corserine lies at the intersection of five ridges. The N ridge which leads over Carlin's Cairn, Goat craigs and Meaul to Coran of Portmark has steep craggy sections on its E slopes. The S ridge known as "Rhinns of Kells" which runs over the tops, Millfire, Milldown and Meikle Millyea to Little Millyea is the normal access from the S. The S ridge is narrow and very craggy to the E. A single broad W ridge leads over Meikle Craigtarson to the forested Little Craigtarson where a forest track gives access. Finally, the E ridge forks, the NNE branch terminating at Craignelder forms a deep corrie to its W. The ESE branch to North Gairy Top, although craggy, is the normal access from the E.

Climbed on 27/12/06 with a friend of my wife. Ascent was foggy and frosty - the path was not very obvious at times (we lost it twice but found it again). The path was even less obvious on the descent (it was snowing)and we went almost straight down to the fence and missed the stile which led back to the forest path. We followed the fence north instead of south and reached a wall - which we then worked out led back to the forest road anyway.
