Awesome Blaven

[soapy27]

Woke up at 430am todays challenge was to get up and down Blaven back to the campsite to pack up and head for Elgol for the boat trip to the Isles. Staying in the Sligachan campsite I could see enough of Blaven to tell it wasn't shrouded in cloud like most of the Cuillins were the previous day in fact as I drove round the weather was turning out to be quite nice.
