Breaking into the late afternoon, I made the last minute decision to travel 2.5 hours to the Bridge of Orchy for a Wild Camp on the hills. My aim was to bag the three Munros I have yet to tick off there which are Beinn Achaladair, Beinn a'Chreachain and Beinn Mhanach. All seemed grim as my ascent got deeper into the clag line. Little did I know how lucky I would be when I woke up. Check the video out to see what I mean.
