In reply to Marc:

I almost can't think of a worse climb to do at this time of year in dodgy weather. It's ideal for a perfect spring day.

In reply to Gordon Stainforth: Any recommendations?
In reply to Marc:

I honestly couldn't recommend anything without having seen a really convincing forecast. The all-weather best hill-walking bet (you can combine it with the superb long easy scramble up the N/W ridge) is Bruach na Frithe. But a complete waste of time, of course, if the cloud is down, because the summit of BNF is one of the best mountain viewpoints in Britain.

In reply to Gordon Stainforth: Thanks Gordon.

You could always go and solo that V diff route underground just off the road heading north to the kilt rock and flodigarry.I seem to remember that that was good fun.
