Pleasant run from the bothy on estate roads and then a DH mtb track through the woods to Craig, then across and up Allt a'Chaonais on the other side. The expected weather kicked in on this climb and all the goretex was needed for the rest of the day, but it was of little protection against the occasional strong gusts that stopped us in our tracks. Had thought of going over the tops to Bearnais bothy but the weather suggested the lower level route would be a better idea.
Crossed the river and headed up on a good track which became a stream towards the bealach Bhearnais, and on the other side we were off track and occasionally off our feet in the strong winds and driving rain. Started brightening as we approached Bendronaig bothy but we were soaked through, so very glad to find a very well stocked wood pile and choice of stoves to dry ourselves and our clothes for the rest of the day.
