WINTER SKILLS







Good winter conditions today for Anthony & Bruce who are on a weekend winter skills course for 2 days. We headed over to the Eastern crags of Meall nan Tarmachan from the Lochan nan Larig dam. Great variety of conditions, frozen old snow, windslab and frzen turf. We covered ice axe arresting, avalanche awareness and walking on steeper terrain. We had snow showers later in the day which merged into steady snowfall. It was a bit windy on the tops and forecast is for it to be pretty wild on Sunday with lots more snow to come in the next week, great stuff. I am working for www.walkaboutscotland.com this weekend.
