SNOWY,SUNNY,SLIPPY,SLIDEY


















After a wet and colder night the hills today had a covering of snow down to 800m. It was a showery morning so I nipped out after mid- day just in time for the sun to come out. The fresh snow became quite wet and added to this the saturated ground it became quite slippy under foot. I went into the Cam Chreag corrie on Tarmachan, as fast has I was going up one of the gullies the snow was rolling off down the hill. The crags higher up had ice on them but this too was melting rapidly. Shame it's not any colder to keep the snow. Interesting weather coming up over Easter period, wet at all levels tommorrow, then snow again to 800m for Friday. Still got chance to roll those Easter eggs down the hill!
