solo outing from family Arran S/C break at The Barn Sliddery.
Later start than planned 1045 to 1930, roamin in gloaming on Glen Rosa return. Got stronger in 2nd half once ascended Cir Mhor. Few walkers in lower glen on approaching bridge over Garbh Allt, only met 3 others + dog descending as I ascended CM. Good views Goatfell and lower hill mist on BT approach, no jacket required today (13:45). Decent Bypass path below A'Chir ridge to cairn on CM col, marks descent into Glen Rosa. steep stone stairs to CM summit (15:30) and waiting clag then descend NW to hunters ridge, good gradient onwards to CA summit tor hiding in the clag (16:35). Make wee mistake here when descent too quickly S, realise too steep when compared to approach route, so 5min traverse onto ridge proper and path back to wee cairn and bypass around CM to col cairn and final 15 min quiche break. 5.45pm drop into Glen Rosa on made path/stone steps and dusk return to car, avoiding ninja highland coos.
