Notes Hot day, and was already sunburnt from Ben Chonzie. Wore a Steve Irwin / Indiana Jones style hat with a buff - kept me protected except for my nose :-) Saw some paragliders and celebrated a bit too early at the top of Stob Dearg not fully realising we had a lot more to go. Tailed by a guy in a fluorescent t-shirt all the way up to Stob na Broige, we beat him to the top but he overtook us on the descent into the valley. In the valley we had a big military plane fly right over our heads, very low, which was quite a sight. Long walk back to car with a bit beside the road, then on to Arisaig.
