Although it looked quite close from the summit of Carn Aosda the walk to the Cairnwell summit took longer and was harder than I'd imagined.
As we reached the summit the weather had deteriorated quite considerably, with poor visibility and wind driven snow. In all honesty given the ugliness of the summit I didn't really care! We found shelter by one of the buildings at the summit and had a quick bite to eat.
