In the clouds all day. Started at car park below Cairnsmore House. Path up to Cairnsmore of Fleet was pretty good. Then, navigated across the grassy slopes to Meikle Multaggart and then followed the fence to Knee of Cainsmore and down on the grassy slopes, with one boulder field. Last 3 miles were on a good track. | tsharp | 14/01/2022 |
