ERICK THE WIND

Essential eye wear

Windy up top

Shelter from the wind

Good snow cover above 800m

Hints of clear skies

Hard going in a breakable crust 

Storm Erick arrived overnight but not too severe winds over the Cairngorms today. In the corries probably around 60mph. There was some sheltered areas. Good snow cover above 800m.  The corries looking very wintry.  Still a frustrating breakable crust so walking still hard work.
