The 30th of December saw a small group of Mercians attempt the Ballachulish Horseshoe but again bad weather forced a retreat and again the summit was not reached. 
Corbetteer tried to get up Tom Mheadhoin and Beinn Na Gacaig but didn’t get up either because of the miserable weather and solid rain.
The only expedition which was successful was that of the party who ventured to Fort William and managed to accomplish buying fresh fish for the pie that evening.
