A fine frosty morning with a stunning cloud inversion with the sun lighting up the snow dusted Lawers range - beautiful morning lighting. Some light mist on the summits which soon cleared with brilliant views all around. Some snow on the tops and icy patches on the rocks took my time over the ridge since there were some slippy patches. Saw red deer, grouse and ravens.
Continued over Creag na Callich and then picked up the track by the weir. Very warm walking back along the track on the way down, only needed my T-shirt. The mist had closed in over the tops and there was still a cloud inversion over Loch Tay so I was sandwiched between the layers of cloud - very atmospheric.
