Went walking with Billy and Alan. It was a good walk with the weather until we reached the boulder field. It became very windy and cold then, when we reached the plateau the hail started and with the wind it felt like sandpaper on my face, very painful. There was still big patches of snow that the path was hidden under and so the reason why we did not reach the trig. The last leg of the walk along Loch Muick seemed to go on for ever.
