I got taught a lesson on these four, in high winds, thick clag and thumping rain.
Was horrible...... made even worse by the cloud lifting as I got back down the last one
The best view I had all day were of that ugly "cairn."

. Good to get caught in a good whiteout once in a while - keeps you on your toes (or knees if you end up descending steeply without noticing it initially).
Getting lost seems to be a common theme on these hills - noticed it in other reports and have managed to contour right round a minor summit myself and ended up going back the way I came
I wish I woudl have noticed that when I read some of the reports before I started the walk!! Would have taken even more care...but getting lost makes a day sometimes (well at the end anyway!!)

Loved the video too. They're the sort of windy conditions I quite enjoy
Yes the wind was amazing...although some stretches were pretty bad...first time I had wished for an bavaclava!!

I often use my car as a sleeping place particularly when travelling to and from the highlands and I also like a drink to relax and help me sleep.
Does anyone know the law concerning this as i am always afraid that i will be accussed of drink driving, I put the car keys in the glove box. But you must be able to drink in a camper van so why not a car. Do you have to not be in the driver seat?
I was asking around and what I was told is that as long as your car keys are not in reach , it is ok to sit in the car to have a drink, otherwise it is seen as 'Drunk In Charge'. Maybe worth while, not to sit in the drivers seat either.
