Wisps of cloud swirled around when we got to the 881m marker cairn Euan loved this being upin the clouds. Clear views from the summit.

Cold but clear easy return via water gate in warming sunshine. A relentless cycling descent at great speed, skirting the cows pen on return to find brakes burning. Completing a 7 ppeak 3 day effort.
