THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM

A lovely day today with some excellent sunny spells in the afternoon. Overnight there had been further snowfall down to 300m but the lower slopes were quickly warmed up and the fresh snow had melted in the afternoon. Lucy, Peter, Bruce, Akmrad, Keith and I had a lovely walk up to Steall Falls, with the obligortory play on the wire bridge, then going up to the cracking wee hill of Meall Cumhann. At a lowely 698m and surrounded by much bigger hills, this characterful hill is rarely visited. The views are superb from the top. Unfortunately the winter wonderland will be washed away over the next couple of days. Heavy rain and strong SW winds are forecast for Monday & Tuesday.
