Winter Hillwalking
Went up to Glencoe last week with a bunch of friends for some winter hillwalking. Had a great day out on the wee Buachaille that involved sun, snow, ice axes, crampons well pretty much everything you can get hillwalking in Scotland in winter. Fantastic day out and most enjoyable.
Nice to see lots of other walkers out in the hills too. I know Glencoe is always busy, but we met two large groups of people being trained in winter skills, ice axe breaking etc, and for the most part they looked like they were enjoying it despite the icy wind. Quiet roads, plenty parking in car parks and quick service in the pub at the end of the day just makes me want to get out walking in winter a bit more. Shame the snow's on the wane now though, was hoping to get out this weekend coming. Maybe see you out there sometime. Posted by bigcrags @
