As an afterthought if you can get a couple of thousand feet above the cloud tops you can get a pretty good view of the ground with 50% cover and you will be above any haze. You may be able to see Ben Cruachan from Forfar and you will have a grandstand seat to see if the cloud is closing up ahead..
So you do a 180 and.... oh dear, it's now 8/8 there as well!
