BROAD GULLY-GLENCOE

Charlie and I were up on Broad Gully in Glencoe today. It was untrodden, a rare sight here,  so a welcome bonus for Charlie's first taste of a graded climb. There was a fresh few cm's of snow on the existing stable snowpack. The forecasted high winds were never in presence today, only 30mph in places and we had the tops clear most of the day with a few bright spells. We went up to Bidean then descended at the Bidean/Sgreamhach bealach which hadn't been trodden for a  while, it was actually steeper than Broad Gully at the top. A nice pleasent and quiet descent down Coire Gabhail.
