| Sunshine and lighter winds on the plateau |
The winds had eased today. My group of 5 guys had a great day up on the Northern Corries circuit. We had some sunny spells and a couple of brief snow flurries. Much colder on the tops with temperatures only just above freezing probably. Feeling a tad cold in the winds but nice in sheltered places with sunshine.
