There was much less wind through the night but the rain continued without a break. When I peered out of the tent through the first light gloom I could see the mist rushing bye at speed in the distance so I must assume I've found a very sheltered spot for the tent. I hate packing wet stuff up in the rain and the best I could hope for is to find a route part way down the mountain to be in striking distance of a bus stop. I decided to stay put and hope for an improvement in the weather and move on in the dry if it did. At noon the rain was very light so I went out for a wander in the mist to collect water. It turned out I was in an interesting area not far from the summit with a few small tarns scattered about. It must be quite picturesque in good weather.


Very wet and miserable all day.
