NAVIGATION DAY, SGOR GAOITHE

A mixture of snow, hail, rin, wind and yes-sun

Map and compass work in the wind

Still large areas of snow in places

Afternoon sun

A viewless Sgor Gaoithe summit

Wind behind us?

The local glider club at Glen Feshie out and about today

Summit smiles and a not too breezy Munro

Nigel, Gemma & Len are out with me on a five day course this week. Today we had an easyish day of navigation and a Munro summit. Despite the weather forecast looking a bit grim we all enjoyed a day of sunshine, sleet, rain, snow and strong winds. The norm for this May! We had a great day out on Sgor Gaoithe and the team worked well navigating all day in difficult weather conditions. All set for tomorrow's 'winter skills day' in the northern corries on Cairngorm. Now that will be a first for me, winter skills course in mid May! :)
