Climbing alongside the Buchan Burn at the start of our climb to Merrick
After the bothy at Culsharg we started to climb more steeply
The cloud was changing constantly but we stayed below it as we climbed to Benyellary
After a long steady climb we reached the summit of Benyellary
There was no avoiding the cloud as we crossed the Neive of the Spit to Merrick
