I'll pick my weather carefully though after reading your comments about the scrambly summit bits!<br /><br />I always walk my bike up hills when I'm doing a bike/walk in Scotland. I need to conserve my energy for the walking bits (I was never a great cyclist anyway).<br />Carol.Carolhttp://www.mountaincowardadventures.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-68578068942696548452012-04-10T10:30:14.430+01:002012-04-10T10:30:14.430+01:00As you say Mark it depends on your

Did this Corbett a long time ago at New Year in full winter conditions, from the same bothy and don't remember it being too tricky, but I have slept since then and also a bit of scrambling bothered me less then than it does now.Markhttp://www.beatingthebounds.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-54874536492091446032012-04-07T12:48:00.241+01:002012-04-07T12:48:00.241+01:00Sounds like a great trip.

Sadly I don't have the knees for Knoydart now but I made up for it by paddling from Ayrshire over to Bute, round Arran and over to Kintyre, then round the bottom of Arran.

We headed along Loch Arkaig last week and took the most northerly of the tracks in Glen Dessary (on the north of the river), but that wasn't smooth.
