1st April
A strong easterly wind picked up overnight, blowing straight down the glen. It was rather like sleeping in a wind tunnel

| Clouds building over the hills |
I had thought about walking the high ridge over Beinn Bhuide but by the time I reached the pass at Mam Meadail the wind was very strong and discretion being the better part of valour I headed down Gleann Medail with thoughts of lunch in Inverie and no regrets.

Completely different weather at the bottom of the glen, sheltered from the wind and the clouds stayed over the easterly hills.

Into Inverie and The Old Forge, bank holiday Monday, very expensive and a long wait for food.
 |
| The café |
There is however an excellent little cafe just down the road. Great food, good value and used by the local people.

Walked over the Mam Barrisdale in the afternoon.
 |
| Spring had arrived in Inverie |
 |
| Even up the hill a bit |
The weather stayed good up through Gleann and Dubh-Locain.

| View east from Mam Barrisdale |
I met a cyclist carrying his bike up from Barrisdale, I suppose some people can get pleasure from anything.

| First glimpse of Loch Hourn |
Camped at Barrisdale again, at least I have a shorter walk out tomorrow.
18 miles, 1400m ascent.
