Munro Bagging Mayar & Driesh 24+25, Corrie Fee. 13.04.2019
The weather was set to be good on Saturday 13th of April. Having only been out Munro Bagging once since so far this year, I once again headed to the Cairgorms to visit the stunning Corrie Fee, and to bag not one but two Munros in the area...Mayar & Driesh.
Mayar is a mountain in the Grampians, in Angus, Scotland.[2] It is usually climbed together with its near neighbour, Driesh.[3] At an elevation of 928m,[1] it is the 564th highest peak in the British Isles and the 534th tallest in Scotland.[4]
Driesh (Gaelic: Dris) is a mountain located in the Grampians of Scotland. Apart from Mount Keen (939 m/3,080 ft), it is the most easterly of the Munro peaks.
Corrie Fee is a glacier-carved corrie situated at the head of Glen Clova in the Angus Glens of Scotland. It forms part of Corrie Fee National Nature Reserve (NNR), which is managed by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and lies within the Cairngorms National Park. The adjoining Corrie Sharroch and the slopes of Craig Rennet are also included in the NNR.[1]
The corrie is considered to be one of the finest examples of a glacial corrie in the British Isles, with its steep cliffs forming a natural amphitheatre. The wider reserve hosts many rare arctic-alpine plants, including the largest area of montane willow scrub in Scotland, which is found at Corrie Sharroch. The importance of the area's flora has been recognised by botanists since the 18th Century, and the site is now protected by numerous national and international conservation designations.
HOW TO SHOOT SPEED IN GLEN CLOVA ANGUS SCOTLAND
There are no towns or villages in the Angus Glens within the Cairngorms National Park but there are small communities scattered across the glens. Glen Clova is the best known of the glens, and an excellent place for walking and wildlife. Towards the top of the glen, Glen Doll branches on to the west, right into the heart of the mountains and the Corrie Fee National Nature Reserve. The Angus Glens Ranger Service have a Ranger Base in Glen Doll which is open to the public. Quiet Glen Prosen is good for walks and wildlife, look out for the cairn dedicated to Wilson and Scott, the Antarctic explorers. Wilson lived in Glen Prosen, and it was here that Captain Scott planned his polar expedition.
Glen Doll Scotland
Glen Doll, Angus, Scotland, is located within the Cairngorms National Park and also incorporates the Corrie Fee Nature Reserve which is home to many endangered plants.There is an ancient track that starts in Glen Doll, and reaches all the way to Braemar.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The national nature reserves (NNRs) of Scotland are areas of land or water designated under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 as containing habitats and species of national importance. National nature reserves can be owned by public, private, community or voluntary organisations but must be managed to conserve their important habitats and species, as well as providing opportunities for the public to enjoy and engage with nature. There are currently 43 NNRs in Scotland, which cover 154,250 hectares (1,542.5 km2), or less than 1.5% of the land area of Scotland. They range in size from Corrieshalloch Gorge at 7 ha to Mar Lodge Estate, which covers 29,324 ha.National nature reserve status is an accolade awarded to the best nature reserves in Scotland, and the selected sites provide examples of nationally or internationally important species and habitats. NNRs are intended to showcase Scotland's nature, and as well as being well managed for wildlife they must be managed to provide opportunities for the public to visit and enjoy them. NNRs therefore generally have facilities such as visitor centres and trails to allow visitors to explore and understand the habitats or wildlife they contain.Most NNRs in Scotland are also designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest. Many also form part of the Natura 2000 network, which covers Special Protection Areas and Special Areas of Conservation. Additionally, some of the NNRs are designated as Ramsar sites.
