Takeoff description
From the car park at Garbat follow a newly built path which leads up the Allt a' Bhealaich Mhoir through mixed woodland. After a couple of kilometers, the path opens up and a sign marking the entrance to the Ben Wyvis National Nature Reserve is reached. From this point the path becomes much steeper as it zig zags up the hillside to the top of An Cabar, (946m) which forms the south western end of the Ben Wyvis summit plateau. There are plenty of areas from which to take off here. Note: the most commonly used take off faces NW, but it is also possible to walk eastwards a little way across the summit plateau and fly the SE face of the hill.
