It started to clear in the morning, but not enough for the local walks so it would be off to Loch Maree. However, the winds picked up and it alternated between rain and snow. I debated whether to stay or go and decided to stay, then to go, then to stay. Then the clouds cleared and the sun shone brightly through the windows. I was about to leave but it hailed and then snowed. Hmmmm. It was getting chilly in the hut with no wood for warmth. I decided to go even if there was a doubt or two about the weather as my feet weren't staying warm even with two thick pair of woolen socks. After putting on my still soaking wet boots, my feet became so cold that they lost all feeling. I jumped around seeing if that would warm them up but it didn't help. I left the hut prepared to turn back if my feet didn't get better.
