Solo hillwalk while on holiday in Loch carron. Loch carron around 50mins from start of this walk. Weather forecast was for 90% cloudfree munros however I only managed one as once at around 700m the cloudbase reduced visibility significantly. It was pretty disorientating and with the ridge type structures of the mountain I decided to turn back for safety. Had already passes two other walkers who came down due to bad visibility.

Good walk and pretty easy climb to the first summit. Will come back when weather is clear to finish this route and tackle the other torridon mountains which look fabulous.
