Cairngorm plays a Trump Card

Thursday, February 7, 2008

Alan,

Another blustery and wet week in the Highlands, but I thought you might like this pic' of "plateau navigation action" yesterday! Proof, if we needed it that when Scotland is good, there's nothing quite like it.

Be good,

Colin

Thanks Colin,

Seems as though a lot of this snow has gone just for a while.

One of our groups decided to head to the leisurely flesh-pots of the Northern Corries today. On arrival all the 'locals' were drinking coffee in the cafeteria at the car-park, due to the very strong wind and a lack of MF.

However, not to be deterred and on the principle that it is always worth a 'wee look' they struggled up the short approach and into Sneachda to be greeted by solitude, blue sky, no wind and The Runnell with brick-hard snow, and no cornice due to the scouring which has taken place recently. Once on the windless plateau they strolled off over the grassy hummocks and back down. A great day, but not a lot of pictures to go with it.
