Glorious weather all week then Saturday forecast came true, low cloud and rain, set off from the top of the glen road, Beinn Eich climb first, after that it was too claggy for my navigation skills to run the planned trackless route back round the Glen Finlas tops so along to Doune Hill it was, difficult picking out the narrow trods in the mist. Run off Doune Hill fun, slowly down to the Beallach with top 701 then slow descent into a tussocky Sith Mor, unable to pick a good line in the clag, too close to the burns and fern filled gulleys. Up Mid Hill back into the mist before a short run down to the road. 8 miles with 4000' of ascent in 3 hours 20. Sunday brought brighter weather for a run up Ben Bowie.

Returning over Bromley and Overton Muirs, 11 miles, 2000' in 2 hours 25. A few more pictures here.
