Only had one car so parked at the end of the route and hitchhiked to start located next to the Cluanie Inn. 3 miles of nice trail before hitting the 1st and largest ascent of the day. Poor visibility and rain for most of the ridge line, legs were feeling it by the 6th Munro and had to get the head down and get the last one of the day done. Was on the trail for 12.30 and got back to the car for 21;00, managed to make last orders at the Cluanie inn for a well deserved meal and pint. Parked at the car park at the start of the trail and walked 500m and camped by the side of the path, probably better places to camp but it was decent for a last minute pitch. I can imagine on a good day the views would be outstanding given how exposed parts of the ridgleine are but a heavy day especially after a 4 hour drive in the morning, Cracking day none the less
