my second Munro, walked with Tam & Jim. Can`t quite remember the route to the top but we went up the south west side of the hill, past the crashed plane wreckage to the top. Which was covered in cloud. We met a dutch couple on the way up and when tam spoke to them he reverted to the old glaswegian custom of shouting at foriegners. I could see them think, we`re dutch not deaf ! along the top we met a guy sitting soaking wet waiting on his mates, he was a big guy with no waterproofs ! completely lost in the cloud we headed down and around the north east side of the mountain, where we found that guys mates, i remember thinking they were a bit queer when i spoke to them. took a long wet walk back to car park.
