Thawing slightly

Yesterday we went along to watch the first day of the 30th anniversary of the Siberian Huskey Club Rally just off Loch Morlich, Aviemore.  A super event to watch and get to mingle with the teams and find out what it's all about.

Then today I did a round of Sgor Gaoith in Glen Feshie.  There was alot of rain overnight and the temperature increased slightly so there has been a thaw at lower levels.  Going up from Auchlean the snow became firmer around 650m and the wind increased. By the time I was on the tops I had some great views and even a bit of sunshine but then the strong winds and snow came in.  So the afternoon was spent naving accross the tops.  The snow on the tops is still very firm.

Beinn a'Chlachair

Over the past couple of days I have been out and about, on Tuesday above the Pass of Drumochter doing a round of Gheal-charn and A'Marhconaich and then yesterday I was down by Loch Laggan for the long walk to summit Beinn a'Chlachair.  I had done the other two munros of this particular round a few years back so it was good to be back in the area especially under winter conditions.  The snow is falling as we speak around Aviemore but the temperature has risen slightly from the colder temperatures we have had for the past few days.
