Beautiful day again in The Western Highlands and what a complete contrast on The Ben from only two days ago. Today it was almost unbroken sunshine along the CMD arete, the finest walking route onto Ben Nevis. The North face looks like mid March at the moment! With the sun now radiating on the face it looks positively Alpine. It was a day for strolling along the ridge and photographing the wonderful vistas. The clarity of air was superb with excellent views from the Cairngorms to Skye. There was snow on the Arete but it was melting fast in the heat. Still over 2 metres of snow on the plateau which will take a while to melt away.
