Beinn Dothaidh

Sunday, 14 February 2010

Yesterday Beinn Dothaidh was in good shape, although a lot of the snow was pretty soft. The ice on Taxus (Direct) was in fine fettle.

Some small amount of 'breast-beating' has taken place recently from mountaineering committees concerning signage and way marking on the mountains of Scotland. Here is a good example of how some land owners are willing to help climbers and walkers access the mountains through their property. Personally I feel this is a good idea and maybe needed in some spots at higher elevations as well.
