And it all started out so well with dawn breaking over An Teallach

But then the gathering before the storm blows in!

At this point I should have retreated - but just didn't know what was waiting round the corner :shock:

Failed to factor in the depth of snow coupled with an unexpected (un forecast) blizzard meant I would struggle to complete this in daylight hours so finally had to turn back- following my footprints rather than having to navigate in white out :shock:
Scary stuff and one or two large drams required in Ullapool.
Too exhausted to even attempt walking tomorrow :(
