Big boy run from glen affric hostel. Cloud really came down at the col before An Socach, so was very careful up to the summit. Having got back to the col had to do a spicy bit of navigation along a slope to the lochan, which was pretty hard with 20m visibility and slippy rocks.
Made it to said lochan and had to take a very naughty bearing to a col up a featureless slope with zero visibility - eek. Made it tho onto the ridge so all good.
Along the ridge to Munro #2 with some nice narrow bits which was cool but still zero views. Coming back to the col finally got some views which was nice and saw parents for the second time, before heading up the really steep knife edge ridge to Sgurr nan Ceamrethnan (1151m). Really enjoyed a bit of scrambling here.
Down home from there was taken at a very easy pace, cos there was no need to gun it and injure myself.
Great run but seemed the louis macmillan curse was upon me with 3/3 cloud covered summits!

C • Shame about the views, take... 2

Easy pre-brekkie amble round the Loch. Staying @ Glen Affric hostel the next 2 nights so am planning a nice run route for tomorrow then off to help out at Lagganlia till Wednesday. Should be fun.

Parkley Craigs avec chien. Was raining which was nice

Footbridge along Avon has been knocked down for refurbishment so had to do a lot of doggie lifting over barbed wire fences. After that and nearly driving into a wall this morning I enjoyed seeing two cows doing a certain energetic activity next to the canal.

Easy hot one round Beecraigs and north face with grace. All good except the dog had a sit down tired protest near the end
