COLD CONDITIONS CONTINUING

Nicely frozen terrain
Dumgoyne summit
It's been very fine weather since last Friday with cold, calm and sunny conditions across the Highlands. Ice forming in many places and snow in excellent condition judging by many reports. I've been down in Glasgow last few days and today I took a short bus ride to the foot of The Campsies-the nearest hills to Glasgow. Within half an hours travel from a major city you can enjoy some very peaceful hills. Plenty of summits under 600m so not a long day, I raced round most of them in under 5 hours. All the terrain was frozen so not a bit of bog to contend with. There is also a very nice distillery ( Glengoyne)  at the bottom of the hill while you're waiting for the bus back! Looks like some fresh snow later this week and cold again through to the weekend.
