Route
THE COBBLER (Corbett, 884m)
The planned route starts from the Succoth (Loch Long) car park at NN29504. Please note that this is a "Pay and Display" car park, so if you are driving, remember to bring some pound coins.
We'll follow the straight-forward route to the Cobbler. After crossing the A83, we'll head up the zig-zags and follow the track north-east to the col between The Cobbler and Beinn Narnain (Bealach a'Mhaim). Here we'll turn south and climb to the summit along the north ridge of the mountain. The return is by the same route.
| Distance | 12 km |
| Total ascent | 884m |
| Likely time | 5 - 6 hours |
After our walk, we'll visit The Village Inn for some refreshments.
