Some high level cloud and a little light mist on Sgurr Mhurlagain but it cleared with great views to Knoydart, Glenfinnan and Quoich hills with Skye and Eigg in the distance. Beautiful lighting with the sun breaking through the clouds and the shadows cast by the hills, layers of mountains. Saw ravens and red deer. ATV track a bit boggy but not too bad.
Such a beautiful spot with the hills and the sun shining off Loch Arkaig. Road down the glen didn't seem as bad as last time, I think some resurfacing has been done for the forestry work. Saw a couple swimming in the loch on the way back (looking for gold?!) Another awesome autumn walk :)
