TIME - 5/7 HOURS

Join us for a winters hike taking in Ben Wyvis ( Glas Leathad Mor ). A Vast Mountain which dominates the skyline as you travel north of Aviemore. This isolated Munro makes for a great day out in both summer and winter!
What the day includes -
Meeting at 8am we will get our kit sorted and set off heading through a woodland to start with Ben Wvyis to our North and little Wyvis to the south.
Once through the woodland we will start to ascend the shoulder making our way up towards An Cabar , a top along the way which brings us up onto the vast plateau.
Little protection on this broad ridge as we make our way towards the summit, a gentle gradient with a few KMS to reach the summit of Ben Wyvis. We will stop and have a well deserved break and bite to eat whilst taking in the views of the North Highlands.
Retracing our steps we will make our way back the way we came.
You MUST supply your own B2 winter boots for this event. You can hire them from the likes of Tiso, for further information on this please send an email.
We can supply - Ice Axe / Crampons / Helmet
This event is ideal for those with previous summer hiking experience and good hill fitness. We advise everyone who hikes in the winter months to have been on a winter skills course.
Meeting location and winter kit list will be received upon booking.
