I was planning on bagging my first Corbett today , I've clocked up around 190k over the past 10 days or so ,apart from "bagging " my first trig point yesterday on the Annandale way ( IST stage ) , I was fired up to bag at least a Donald
I checked the forecast and it looked 50/50 ,y feet were playing up a bit so I opted for my old boots ,the new Altbergs were left in the camper
I set out from the grey mares tail carpark in Galloway
I made it up to lock skeen
The wind was much higher than forecast ,so I made the decision based on not having a plb ,being solo and no internet to get the latest forecast
The clag was covering the top half of my target ( white Coomb) , so I decided just to sit a while and enjoy the views around loch skeen , I felt it would have been foolish of me to attempt that ascent solo
