N Strathfarrar ridge taking in 4 Munro tops. First 40’ with J before he headed back to taxi E. Someone opened the taps just as we set off and had to stop within 5’ for waterproof trousers on. Eased after 20’ or so. Boggy but straight forward slog onto Sgurr na Rhuaide. Then it got stupidly windy for a while. Had to stop to put on yet more kit and struggling to stand at times. Still windy on Carn nan Ghobar, but after dropping to the col and climbing towards top no 3 the wind completely disappeared, the sun was out and I was massively over heating. Nice to stop on Sgurr a Choire Ghlais to take kit off, eat, and socialise with a runner heading in the opposite direction. Stayed pretty bright after that and opted for the high level route after Sgurr Fhuar Thuill with an extra wee climb over Sgurr na Muice. Down to my strategically located bike as planned in 4h.
