Overview

Ben Tirran has a flat and rather featureless summit but is redeemed by its fine corries above Glen Clova. This walk visits both to make a circular route up Clova's only Corbett summit.

It is extremely important that you are properly equipped for walking in the Scottish hills. Layers are extremely important - 2 thin jumpers are better than one thick one.
You MUST have walking boots, a waterproof jacket, a number of warm layers, hat, gloves and a rucksack with you. If you are unsure about additional kit, please see our kit list here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LePi6kgmyWij7P0wSpPCeak2iRhnD47Zte2B_tSPy_4/edit?usp=sharing
If you do not have the correct gear then you will not be permitted to join the walk. If in doubt, please get in touch before the walk (please note that ‘incorrect gear’ includes trainers and/or jeans).
Any questions - no matter how silly they make you feel - please get in touch.

We will continue to take attendance using the Ramblers App - if you are a Ramblers member, it would be great if you could either bring your membership card along, or download and login to the Ramblers app. If you are not a Ramblers member, I will ask for your name and e-mail at the start.
***If this is your fourth or more walk with AYW then you need to have Ramblers membership: http://www.ramblers.org.uk/become-a-member.aspx
Look forward to meeting existing and new members to the group.

Please sign up to this walk at https://www.meetup.com/aberdeen-young-walkers/events/301316872/ as spaces are limited.
