By self. Brilliant weather for the time of year. Stopped on the drive from Brora back to Inverness and could see the car all the way to the top and back. Second Munro of the weekend. Very nice weather. Was even worrying about sunburn near the summit! Met a few people but quite a remote hill. Slog across the marshy stuff then a straight up on heathery slopes and a nice walk along a ridge before a final ascent. Took some photos from the summit and sat for a while. Scratched the screen on my camera tryin to set up the timer. Tricky descent. Getting good at finding the difficult ways down
