Wow, good news!
Hopefully it's not a washout!
Another little "problem" I have just recently thought about (sorry if I'm a pain in the **, Hutchy!). End of October is the prime stalking season. Of course it depends on which routes we take and when, but it would be worth checking which hills are the safest to go without disturbing stalkers.
The north side of Glen Shiel and Beinn Fhada will be fine, as it's all NTS or Forestry Commision, so no stalking issues.
Sgurr an Airgid and A'Ghlass Behinn stalking ends 20 Oct so fine as well
No info on Heading for Scottish Hills about the south side of Glen Shiel and Sgritheall, but I remember we climbed Sgurr Mhic Bharraich in early November and parts of SGS in October, so I imagine it would be all right as well, especially on weekend days.
