Well done to everyone who guessed we were walking St Cuthbert’s Way. Here’s a few shots from the high point of the route - Wideopen Hill - all taken this afternoon. It’s a lovely traverse and also forms the first stage of the Scottish National Trail.

What they don't tell you - sometimes Munro-bagging looks like this - from Càrn Sgulain today. That's an 80% chance of clear summits for you 😉 I've been up 4 times which may be 3x too many. Is it possibly the dreariest Munro of them all? Brightened only by that strikingly vivid green area of bog!
