Ime and Narnain

Not sure of today's route when I set off from Succoth, went straight up a rocky path to the forestry road then along to the tourist path zig zags, plenty of route options from there, decided to try Ime and if if I had time go over Narnain on the way back. As I reached to top of the zig zags stunning view of the cobbler and moon, clear blue skies, sun and not much of a breeze, On the approach to Bealach a'Mhaim a thick layer of cloud blocked out Ime apart from the top. Views apart the first part of the run didn't go well, seemed like I lost 10 or 15 mins up to the Bealach, climb up Ime went better, back on schedule despite walking most of the way and came up through the clouds to a lumpy inversion. Took in the views for a few minutes then set off down into the clouds towards the Bealach, from there a trudge up Narnains steep sides, stayed in the cloud until nearly at the top, The Cobbler appeared and dissappeared every few minutes as the cloud undulated by. Descended through the Spearhead and down over Cruach Nam Miseag, slowly at first then a bit quicker once on easier ground, towards the bottom took a slight detour to pick up the Argo track and avoid the blockpath and stream, a great mornings run rewarded with stunning views.
