| Saturday 16th March, fresh snow above 600m |
It may well be the 'official start to Spring' now we are at 21st March. The daffodils are flowing but that doesn't mean a thing up in the mountains. Here in The Cairngorms and many other Scottish mountains it is more than likely to be full on winter conditions. This is true every single year. We already have a fair amount of 'old snow'. On top of this it is forecast to be colder temperatures, high winds and frequent snowfall from Friday onwards. My 'record' of delivering a full on winter skills course is 11th MAY! It will almost certainly be winter up to mid April. If you're thinking of heading up to the high mountains over the Easter break then I would definitely pack your winter clothing, winter boots, axe and crampons.
The last week or so I have ran a couple of mountain hare photography workshops. The beautiful mountain hares are still in their winter, white pelage. I ave availability if you want the last chance to capture them in their lovely white coats.
Some images from last week.
