(5th or 6th May?) Day trip from Inverness over to do Blaven with Steve G and Davie Mac. Warm sunny day, good visibility all the way until a few minutes before the summit when it clouded over in the direction of the Cuilin ridge. Hung around the summit for 20mins waiting for it to clear before giving up and descending the same route - at which point, a few mins later, the cloud cleared and we would have got good views. Ah well. Great walk apart from that, though scree chute a hassle to go up/down.

Drove to Elgol to get a view of the Cuillin ridge before heading back to Inverness.
