  • Sometimes the weather makes what would be a fairly easy hike much harder than expected. Join me on this adventure as I head off into the Scottish highlands to climb a mountain in deep snow and harsh winter conditions.

    Good on you tackling the winter mountain weather. Facing into spindrift or hailstones in a strong wind can be blinding, (not good to video cams either!) no surprises you were happy to reach the top!!
    Lovely shots down in the Glen though.
    Oh, I think the animal snow prints, the small and big together? almost certainly a mountain hare, wee feet at front, big at the back, built for speed! Always a joy to see at any time of year, but especially when perfectly camouflaged with their white fur against the snow😊

    A great area to explore. I think the gold mine recently went bankrupt. I remember Ben Lui well. I walked up the ridge while a climber went up the central gully with an ice axe in each hand. Take care out there. Winter is coming.
