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.

Brief note of caution. If you plan to descend by the Shank of Drumfollow path in winter mist, make sure to definitely find the path rather than descend down into the glen directly. Drifted, overhanging snow at the head of the glen here may give the illusion of solid ground.

Now £1.50 for carpark. Lost the path out of Corrie Fee, think I ended up climbing up a minor stream bed. Low cloud came in, but that's what I have GPS for (which didn't work in some 'shadows'). Start of route up Driesh difficult to find in cloud and wind. Stunning views, esp up Corrie Fee.

Good if somewhat tame route is to follow the Kilbo path to the wide bealach between the 2 hills. Both can then be bagged with ease. A lot of the forestry in the vicinity of the Kilbo path has been felled at time of writing this review (27/7/05) so the path through the forest is not as dark and un-inviting as past experiences.

This is not for kids but was ok for our dogs. When you reach glendoll lodge cross the white water and follow the forestry tracks to kilbo`s path. Then ascend southwards to scamble up to the west of winter corrie. After a fairly intense scramble you will find the slopes ease as you near the summit of driesh. Then follow the paths to little driesh, Shank of Drumfollow and on to Mayar. From Mayar head north to corrie of fee and descend on the path past a pretty spectacular waterfall. Head on the path to the forest and onto the forestry tracks back to the car park.
