Overview

Little Wyvis is a fairly easy Corbett with stunning views over the surrounding area, including Ben Wyvis.

Leaving Silverbridge, we'll cross the 18th century stone bridge, over the impressive Black Water, then head across the road and start the ascent. We'll pass through some young forest, and through more open areas, as well as some agricultural areas. There might even be very friendly deer around, mooching for food!

It's a well-defined path most of the way up, then it opens up near the summit cairn. It can be quite windy at top. We'll retrace our steps back to the car park, taking a lunch break somewhere near the top (or at the top, if it's not too windy).
