SOLITUDE, SUN-KISSED SNOW, FORGOT THE SUNBLOCK AGAIN!






It was another beautiful sunny day in The Southern Highlands. I went into the Eastern Corrie of Ben Lawers passing the lovely remote Lochan nan Cat then going up an easy gully on Creag an Fhithich and finally onto Ben Lawers. The snow was very soft in the warmish temperatures and after yesterdays rain. Their was some fimy, icy snow above 1100m. I descended the East ridge back down to Tombreck. The ridge was well banked with snow, the Eastern Corrie of Lawers is looking great for a ski run, when the avalanche risk subsides.
Warm again tomorrow then yet another snowy forecast and cold North winds for the weekend.
