Another sub zero temperature day but not so much in the way of sunshine today. I took the West Highland train to Corrour and set off up the two Munros of Stob Coire Easain and Stob a' Choire Mheadhoin, known commonly as 'The Easain's'. I'v e been over these two hills many a time, including winter but never a traverse from Corrour to Fersit. In summer there is plenty of time and you can leave the car at one end like we did one day last summer. But today it was timing it with the afternoon train back to FW. Anyway I was wandering about taking pics, etc so that was never going to happen, instead I made an even longer trip by coming off on the north side of the hills into the lovely and remote Coire na Cabaig where the river beds were well filled with solid neve, a dream strolling down these and eventually to the bothy at Lairig Leacach. I was expecting to see no one, and that's exactly how it was, the only living things I saw all day was a couple of fine stags and ptarmigan. Everything was frozen solid today, all the bog near Corrour and the snow on easterly aspects was solid neve, fantastic. There was a bit of cloud above 900m by mid day.
