Solo Turra show saturday walk in low cloud.

Parked at the farm (out of the way) and started the walk. Cow fired was really muddy but the cows left me alone.

Soon got onto the hill but missed the path as cloud was down. Climbed up the heather to the peat hags where I picked the path up (must have been about 5m off it the whole way up).

No views so had a sandwhich at the cairn before heading down missed the path split in the cloud and realiesed I followed the track to the west (feature looked the same in the clag - steep drop off to the right). Got my bearings back and picked up the singletrack all the way down.

Met a nice couple out counting the grouse and the sun came out for the drive home.
