Another one closer to home and the 2nd time in 2 weeks I was in the same layby - only this time the car wasn't being blown away!
Most of the snow had gone so this made the hill even wetter and boggier!
Down to the stream and a jump onto a grassy bit and a bigger jump to get across. On the return I didn't quite make it and one foot went in. Ah well the boots needed cleaned.
The rockface in front does look daunting but there is a wee path of sorts leading round and up. One wee craggy bit to manoeuvre round but nothing too taxing today.
Mist was down and not many views - a herd of about 10 deer I saw twice made up for this though
On up the path to the summit where the were still a couple of pockets of snow dotted around.
No real views so it was back down and it cleared a little showing a bit of Loch fyne and behind me one good view of the rockface/ cliff.
Good wee walk and better than I expected.

Cheers
