THE WINTER STARTS

Despite some pretty awful weather and road conditions I have managed a couple of routes in the Northern Corries over the past two weeks along with a disappointment at Creag Dhu where Oui Oui was melting! The image shows Milky Way in Coire an Lochain. The thaw is well and truly on in the North of Scotland as of today but watch this space from Monday onwards as the North wind blows ..... and what will poor Robin do then?

Getting ready for some touring!

While there is chaos out there on the road I have been getting the touring skis prepared. They were last out for an ascent of the Pointe de Vouasson near Arolla last April with my friend Sandy Paterson. Fingers crossed they may now experience some Scottish touring!


There's loads of snow in the north of Scotland and hopefully we will be out there in the thick of it over the next few days! Keep a look out for further information and conditions reports.
