Clockwise loop from Glen Banchor, up and over the Graham first - inversion formed behind us 8) :D Dropped down then crossed the river to make for a straight up ascent of CD so there was no doubling back on our route. Made for a steep climb :crazy: but great views across the full route once we were up :D
By the time we'd reached A'C summit the clag chasing behind us had caught up :roll: and stayed for the rest of the day - soaked by the time we were back at the van so just headed home instead of staying out for the next day's pencilled-in wee hill. Definitely picked the right time of year for this route - much bog and peat hags along the way, but it was pretty frozen underground so we could just walk along the top without sinking :thumbup: :D
