Maol Chean Dearg

8 miles, 930m ascent, 4 hours

It rained all the way from Kendal to Coulags where we left the car.  Then it rained a bit, then it rained some, then it rained more still.  The burns were in spate making for tricky river crossings and by the time we had returned to the bothy where we had left our gear on the walk up, we were soaked to our skin - literally.   Ben showed great resolve in bagging the hill in such miserable weather after a long drive.  Fortunately some kind soul had left a large log and firelighters to boot.  This was an unexpected blessing and we burned most of the log over the course of the evening, thus drying our gear nicely.  Ben found a golf club in the bothy.  next time we must set up a pitch and putt course.
