The walk-in to Creag Meagaidh along the Coire Ardair path from Aberader is one of absolute pleasure. So little effort for such grand views. A beautiful walk starting with lots of bird and wild life from the start. The trail is very easy angled and well constructed. All the way along the 6km walk you get more and more impressive views of the main feature on Creag Meagaidh - The Post Face. This spectacular crag overlooks a beautiful, tranquil lochan - Lochain a' Choire. Today Karen and I had a wander up to here and for Karen a swim in the icy cold waters.  The freezing level lowered a tad from yesterday and we had light snow showers for much of the day but no winds. We saw no one all day. Just two cars parked at Aberader. There is just a thin coating of snow/ice on the face. It's a slow start but steady start to winter. Hopefully it will stay cold and more snowfall to come.
