We'd been saving these for a good day so when MWIS predicted 90% chance of cloud free munros we went for them - only to be in the clagg most of the day. Met lots of people emerging from the gloom asking where the good weather had gone, who knows? Very few photos and non worth posting.

Its a rough walk - 10 miles, 6 of which are on scree or boulder, 3 on tilted bog and 1 on good tracks. Found this very tiring, probably because there was no wow factor to compensate for the terrain. Biggles had sore paws afterwards so was not impressed.
