Wasn't really going to do anything today but snap decision last night and decent forecast meant that earlier on I was up my 18th Munro: An Socach

Overall a disappointing day! Forecast was good with 70% chance of cloud free hills but, unfortunately above 800 ish metres it was a complete mist-fest. All of the Cairnwell Pass was just complete overcast.

Barely took any photos because there was nowt to see! Except rocks; today I've cast eyes on all the rocks. All of them.
