BACK TO PROPER SCOTTISH CONDITIONS!








It was a good Winterry day out today. From our 'Alpine' weather the last couple of days it was back to feeling very wintery on the hill with a cold, moderate SE wind, cloud down to 700m at times and the odd snow shower. I was up and down a few grade 1 snow gullies on the Eastern side of Tarmachan. Excellent snow, frozen at 900m with some rime on the crags higher up.


Lower down below the snowline the Purple Saxifrage is out, aswell as the Primrose. Had to pedal downhill from the dam at Lochan na Lairige today as the wind was so strong, not on at all!
