Cairngorms, 31 January 1999

One fine Sunday we pootled up the Cairngorms 'cos there was no cloud on them whatsoever, and lots of snow...

This meant wandering about on a snow-covered plateau at around 3,500 ft in bright sunshine, which most days in Winter is covered in cloud, gales and blizzards. Ben MacDui is the second highest peak in the UK, most of the Cairgorm tops are over 4000 ft.

Carn Toul from the plateau on the way to Ben MacDui.

On the march...Ben Macdui just visible on the horizon.

Braeriach from the plateau, on the way to Ben MacDui only a bit closer by now.

Me, on the summit of Ben Macdui with Braeriach behind.
