#201 Sròn a' Choire Ghairbh
#202 Meall na Teanga
On my own, on way back from Inverness. A cold start, but ok-ish heading up to the bealach. From there on it was extremely cold - had all 3 layers on at all times after that. Hail at top of Sròn a' Choire Ghairbh, and visibility closed in. Cleared up on the way down and had great views all the way up Meall na Teanga and at the summit. Also went over to the lower summit to the SW. Another cloud came over with freezing sleet and it was bad from then, all the way back down to the bealach. Thankfully the sun came out and I was mostly dry by the time I got back to the car. Pretty quick (5.5 hours) mainly due to not stopping for long because of the cold :-)
