BROAD GULLY, GLENCOE

Return clients Linda & Chris are out with me for two days again this winter. This is their third time out with me so they were keen to up their skills level and get stuck into a grade 1 winter climb. We headed over to Glencoe and onto Broad Gully, one of the easiest graded climbs in Scotland. It was another dry and overcast day, the overnight temps had dropped again so the snow was icy in places, especially were it was well trodden, and as it's schools half tern fortnight it certainly was! Another day of trains of folk up the hills, all good stuff this active lark, who said the UK was a lazy nation?! Linda & Chris loved the route onto Stob Coire an Lochan. The cloud base lifted above the tops and we had great views from the top. There was a breeze today but not a strong wind as forecasted, so another dry and pleasant day
