Geallaig

En route to aunt and uncle's 30th wedding anniversary in bash, I was desperate to take in a short hill to edge closer to my target of 50 Grahams before baba is born. The forecast wasn't great for late afternoon and the further north I drove, the more bleak it appeared. I chose Geallaig and parked opposite the wee cottage on the B976 (I think). From here, I really motored up the landrover track to the wee post and looked North - it wasn't the best of views but it was still great to get out nonetheless.
 
I contined onwards but unfortunately, it wasn't long before I was in the gloom and could see no further than 30 feet in front of me. Which wasn't a problem as the massive cairn, which encloses the trig point is impossible to miss. I was at the summit within 40 minutes and after a brief refreshment, was back at the car before 70 minutes were up, after a nice run back down. Good to break sweat and edge closer to the magic 50.
