WINTER RETURNS, GOOD DAY FOR NAVIGATION

The temperatures dropped overnight giving much better walking conditions.  The remaining snow had firmed up and we had fresh snow falling for the first time in a long while! It felt like winter today! High winds had scoured many areas leaving icy conditions on the plateau. Great for cramponing.
Leanne and John were out with me for an Intro to winter hillwalking . They wanted to concentrate the day on Navigation and basic core movement on snow and ice. We even sneaked in a snowshelter for lunch. Brilliant day, feeling like a real winter day out in the mountains.
Unfortunately only one more 'cold' day tomorrow before a return to heat!
