Yup the Outer Hebrides can be enjoying sunshine whilst Skye is covered by the clag.
Backpacking and camping! Yer obviously made of sterner stuff than I, as that great writer on backpacking Chris Townsend says, well I'm just dipping my toes in!
There's nothing like being on top of a nice big hill on a fine day, yes even more so if you have the hill all to yourself.
Have you tried Arran? Would make a good stop for a few days walking. Not so sure about the campsite in Glen Rosa though, always looks a bit grim to me.
Looking over at Cir Mhor whist working my way down off North Goatfell;

Watch out for the snow melt though! Getting my boots off ready to go in. The water was up to my dangly bits - never been so cold in my life, and was lucky to stay upright. Learned quite a few things that day about winter walking - the hard way - doh!
