Had a lift in the morning, got dropped off at near Stinchar Bridge heading to Caerloch Dhu then foloow the ridge till Benyellary, then return to Merrick and descent it's east slope towards Mullwharchar, Dungeon Hill and Craignaw, return to glen trool. Easy going to start, had a panic attack after looking Forcast was actually heavy rain all day. It dribbles till after half way mark at return to Merrick and descent to Wharmack when entering off pitch tough terrian very hard going especially in poor vis. Negotiations of rocks path less till ascend the last peak Craignaw. On descent this section I went a bit off having to negotiate the big slab wall, should have descent towards the gully straight away after the summit. Very very hard going terrian till reach the river crossing btw the two lochs. Now entered the world class top Boggs for 3 k, very very wet and muddy, hard to avoid, then the last k was not too bad.
