Due to strengthening winds when we reached Meall Damh we decided not to climb Cruach Ardrain but had an early lunch and returned to the start by our outward route
Before setting off we saw this band of low cloud above Glen Falloch
It was a steep climb to reach the ridge leading to Grey Height and Meall Dhamh
After our morning tea break we contemplated the climb along the ridge to Grey Height
Soon after passing Grey Height we entered thin cloud
The cloud lifted slightly when we were on Meall Dhamh but the wind was increasing
One of our group measures the wind speed while the rest of us look on
We returned from Meall Dhamh taking great care on slippery rocks
Our descent was cloud free and we could admire the view of Glen Lochy and Glen Fillan
