LOOKING BACK DOWN THE ALLT A' MHUILLIN
I took my usual afternoon wander up The Allt a' Mhuillin to the CIC Hut today. What a contrast from a week ago with snow down to low levels, there is 30cm of snow in places but there is a good trench most of the way up to the hut. I passed a couple who had headed back down from The Ben, they said it took them nearly four hours to get up to the hut this morning. The CIC Hut Cascades were forming well and there seemed to be quite a bit of ice on Carn Dearg and Castle Ridge. Going by tomorrow's weather forecast this will have disappeared I guess as the temperatures are rising and it looks to be a wild and wet day. This is only going to be a brief thaw though as later on on Thursday the cold temperatures will be back, great for the snow pack and should be easier going by the weekend. It all looks great for early part of winter. |
