Sitting atop Carn Ban (Wester Ross) yesterday with arguably the finest
view in the UK, I wondered if this was the most distant mainland
Corbett, being situated some 21kms or so from the nearest public road.
So, counting Inverie in Knoydart as the end of the public road, anyone
know which is the most distant Corbett on the mainland?

Cant help or suggest anything compo, but counting Inverie as the end
of the public road is a bit off! It most certainly is not connected to the
public road system and the road that is there doesn't go far. I think I
know what you're trying to say though :-)

Its not Carn Ban, done that one twice and its not too bad. You can
drive as far as Coiremulzie Lodge and then its a very easy walk from
there. You are right about the view.. its bloody good.

There are some candidates, Beinn Bhreac and Leathad an Taobhain in
Atholl comes to mind. Also Beinn Aden, Beinn Dronaig, Creag Mhor in
the Monadh Ruadh.

Mind Inverie or not, Beinn na Cailleach is a fair way out there.

one can take a ferry to Inverie and the walks then begin from that
point, so many of the Knoydart Corbetts are not very far from start
point.

I know, I did them the Knoydart Munros that way last month. The point
I'm making is whether you get a ferry, jetski or hovercraft, Inverie is
still
not at the end of the public road.

No - but Inverie House is at the end of a public road.

Okay, I've you're driving in from Airor or Sandaig, then the "public" road.
is a fantastic start. I know what he means, you know what he means, you
both know what I mean, which means nobody is wrong. What a strange
state of affairs...........
