More from last week

Sunday, 28 February 2010

Hi Alan

Just got back to Bournemouth after a fantastic finish to my annual week North of the Border. What weather, after a rather dismal start. The drive across Rannoch Moor on the way home was unforgettable, and well captured in your recent post.

Here are some contributions taken during a traverse of the Carn Mor Dearg Arete last Thursday, showing the soft conditions, some impressive cornices and the great view across to the Ben. On Friday I was below the West Face of Aonach Mor and noticed a party of four nearing to top of the East Ridge of Carn Dearg Meadhonach. Looks like an interesting expedition for another year.

Keep up the good work.

Regards

Philip Santo

Thanks Philip. My ISP/Blogger is playing up just now, thus the late posting of your superb pictures. The weather is very similar just now, but much more snow, if that is possible!
