Planned on doing Blaven, but as i approached Skye the tops were all in cloud so I headed back to Glen Shiel, where a lot of the Munros were clear when I'd drove through. Went for Ciste Dhubh. Climbed Am Bathach and the weather kept deteriorating. Got to about 800m up Ciste Dhubh, but then I was struggling to stay on my feet in the wind with lessening visabilty, horizontal hail and rain i called it a day and headed back down.
