Rain, Wind and Sun. No visibility the first 3 hours with periodic heavy rain and strong wind - after that, it became a brilliant walk with excellent visibility and even some sun. Five munros. Though, only four new on my bagging list as Broadcairn was bagged some years ago on a day with crazy wind forcing me to abandon the round - which I had started in clockwise direction. This time I took the round as described on WH and kept going even the first part was very wet. I did consider to retreat after Lochnager, but now I am quite happy that I did not.
On the way down from Carn a'Choire Bhoidheach the clouds elevated and visibility got perfect - the rest of the walk was a delight.
