Summary:
Straightforward there and back on initially overcast, mild summer's day. Midges at car park. Good path, badly eroded once on the plateau. Fell runner's returning met on ascent and numerous other walkers on descent. Some wildlife, birds? Absolutely still on summit, waited around for almost an hour for cloud to slowly blow through for views, but then some excellent but hazy views of glen to SW. Pleasant return through deciduous forest to car park.
