WINTER ON AONACH BEAG


What a difference a week makes, as they say. Last week we were basking in warm sunshine on An Teallach, T-shirt style and sunbathing. Today on Aonach Beag we had snow lying at 1000m and a cold Northerly wind. Snow showers to 900m by the middle of the day, winter as arrived! Well for a short while anyway. Felt great to be out in wintry conditions again. The best walking route up Aonach Beag is via Steall Meadows then onto the various tops on the south side of the mountain. Had an excellent run down from the summit (well had running shoes on so that would have saved frostbite I guess). Some late afternoon sunshine. Looks like good morning for tomorrow with a frost overnight. Now, where are those winter boots?
