So much for straight . . .

The weather forecast was cloudy with scattered showers so rather than climb to a summit in the clouds we opted for a relatively long walk to a remote loch on the western coast of the Isle of Lewis. The walk is down a valley between two ridges of hills, probably quite scenic in sunshine, that ends at Loch Cheann Chuisil. We began our walk at Carnish with hints of sunshine, but a couple hours into the walk the "scattered showers" began. Unfortunately that term was slightly inaccurate as it was a wind driven rain for the next two hours! The one good point . . . the wind was at our backs :-) The walk was just over six hours, much of it in rain. The walk is also described as relatively straight with very little elevation change. So much for straight and level in this image. I used the OS app and the elevation climbed during the walk was 3441 feet over 13.8 miles. This view is of the final rise before the descent to Loch Cheann Chuisil. We did not meet another walker during the entire walk . . . apparently everyone else wanted to stay dry :-) I actually look forward to repeating this walk, only in better weather.
