A FINE WINTERS DAY

Sgorr an Iubhair and the beautiful wee lochan picnic spot
The east face of Stob Ban
Looking across to The Devil's Ridge & Sgurr a' Mhaim from near the summit
Day two for Christina & Justin and they were keen to have a summit day. It was a fabulous morning with lots of blue skies, snow down to low levels and very little wind. It was lovely to feel the warmth of sun and snow, just what it should be in late February. We headed for the 'demoted' Munro summit of Sgorr an Iubhair in The Mamores which gives fantastic views of the east face of Stob Ban and down to The Devils Ridge. Being a 'non Munro' we had the mountain to ourselves. Some high level cloud creeped in in the afternoon and it was chilly on the tops. Such a shame that we are back to 'tropical' weather next week!
