Ey up Fitz!
Yeah I know the weather at that time o' year - but it's always been a favourite with me. I'm off to northwest Scotland in 2 weeks - then again in mid-February, off-route walking & camping. It's the very height of freezing weather but I've been doing it for years. There's no people - apart from the occasional dead tourist which we either leave, or chip out of the perma-frost, depending how hungry we are!
...So I assume we're waiting till early Spring for the Knarsdale venture. Let's catch it before the midges appear.
