On the 25th of May, a beautiful sunny day, it was the ideal temperature because it wasn’t too hot or cold. There were some wind gusts of approximately 23mph at the top, but until then, I was just on one layer of sports clothing. Tolmount Peak was around 30 minutes walk from Munro Top, Crow Craigies.
