All change with the weather again for this weekend's course - massive snowfall led to road closures and a return to high avalanche risk for the Cairngorms - challenging conditions, but thanks to Jason and Steve's enthusiasm we managed to get out and enjoy ourselves, and even though both have had extensive experience in the high places around the world, the 'full-on Scottish winter' proved for a steep learning curve. We were rewarded for our efforts with having the Northern Corries pretty much to ourselves and a real wilderness experience !
This blog follows my climbing trips; based in the Forest of Dean , climbing in the nearby Wye Valley, North Wales, Scotland, Picos de Europa Spain and European Alps.
