A cloudy morning but the sun broke through at times with nice lighting over the snow patched mountains. Some light drizzle at times but clear views from the top and not too windy. Great views of the Achnashellach hills, Torridon, Mullardoch and Strathfarrar and Loch Monar was spectacular, great remote feeling area.
Saw red deer and a hawk when I was driving back down the glen (harrier?) Only a few snow patches on the hills, a big thaw since I was at Ben Tirran! Met some guys from the estate away to go stalking and saw the pony hoof prints on my way back. Excellent walk to finish off the year in a great area.
