COLDER, WINDIER & ONLY A BIT SNOWY ON BRAERIACH

The bike up Glen Einich

Sgor Gaoithe from the track onto Braeriach

It was sunny at times lower down

Hills shrouded in cloud most of the time!

Despite the dire weather forecast of gales across much of the Highlands and the rest of the UK it was actually quite a pleasant day on lower ground. The bike up Glen Einich was quite nice in the sunny spells and hardly a breath of wind until just before the loch. It was a different story on Braeriach with the winds becoming much stronger, coupled with no views and the sleet/snow becoming quite unpleasant above 1000m where there was a fresh covering of the white stuff. Good day out though and a taster for winter conditions to come!
