Sea of Cloud As seen from near the summit of Ben Oss on a stunner of a summer's day a cloud inversion in the valley means that to the east I can just see my destination of Beinn Dubhchraig. Further east still and only the bigger peaks of Ben More, Stob Binnein can be seen with just a hint of Cruach Ardrain peeking through the clouds.
