DENNIS THE MENACE & SNOW

 Navigation in the white room

Great views on Sgor Gaoithe 

Trail breaking at low levels

Views in the morning 

Feshie hills

Trail breaking again

Sunny, occasionally 
Overnight snow to Aviemore level this morning. Summit temperatures on the Cairngorms down to minus 5 C. More gales on the high tops from Storm Dennis. Second day for Valeria & Ed on their winter course. After another cafe indoor session looking at navigation and Avalanche reports, we headed up beautiful Glenfeshie. Today we concentrated on Navigation. A good day for it with poor visibility and challenging conditions. Near white out in the full snow cover at various areas on Sgor Gaoithes many tops and featureless plateaus. Top Mark's for the couple who navigated well in the tough conditions. They said they'll be back for more.
More snow forecast every day in the coming week. Hills should look in a fabulous winter cloak, when the skies finally clear!
