I arrived at the foot of the hill, cloud still low, ate and took my time getting ready.
Noted a gradual lift. Time to set off! Followed the clear path alongside the burn for a bit before crossing over. Fairly wet and muddy but was kinda expecting it!
A few mountain plants in flower. You can also find these growing on sea crags as well as mountains.
- Bog Asphodel
- Sea Plantain
- Thrift
An improving picture!
- Western hills starting to clear.
- Loch Tongue
I took my time ascending, and seemed to be going at the same speed as the lifting cloud base ahead. Great veiws opened up.

- Western hills starting to clear.
Thought the cloud would clear on approaching the summit but a final rush of cold whipped the mists back down. Not keen on cloud walks - at all! I pushed on without too much concern, knowing it wasn't going to hang about long.
Almost there!
- The summit
- Cold but pleased.
Cold but happy chappie.
An improved picture opportunity on the drive back.

Had a great day and didn't even mind the long drive back.
