Another Arrochar run, usually run these two in the opposite direction, missed out the bottom zig zags going up beside the burn, onto the upper zig zag trail that runs alongside the Buttermilk Burn as it comes out the trees all the way to Bealach a'Mhaim. Steady trudge up into the clouds on Ime's new rocky trail, almost came out above the clouds at the top, blue sky above but still surrounded by cloud.
Rewarded with a faint Brocken Spectre and nearly a fogbow.
Followed the path into Glas Bhealach then dropping out the cloud going across and down through the crags picking up the narrow trod on the ridge that runs down between the two burns into Lag Uaine, waved to a couple of runners going in the opposite direction.
Started up Vane's grassy slopes, North, North East, then East along the cloud covered ridge to its small flat top. Set off down the walkers path through the small crags and gulley's busy with walkers.
Dropping out the clouds again, views open up and the tops clear as I leave the mountain for the Glen Loin trail back to Succoth.
Finished just over 4 1/2 hours, about 15 minutes slower than the opposite direction I ran a few months ago.
