The weather had other ideas - it rained, and it rained, and it rained - and blew (60mph). On Friday we abandoned all hope of going up any mountains and just stuck to the West Highland Way. The pic shows us paddling along a tarmac bit. It's a long time since I got quite as wet as this. Fortunately, Saturday and Sunday were slightly better and we did manage to tick two Munros - although we were nearly blown off Stob Binnein.
