Had planned to go down to moffat again for the white coomb circuit.
Woke up and the sound of the wind and rain put me off.
Decided to go up loch humphrey and Duncolm again. Just a swamp past the loch and up to the summit. That locked gate and gigantic stile are a joke. Quagmire!!!
Good to get out after the past few days storms
