A fine, clear, snowy day with no wind, some cloud earlier on but the sun came out with excellent views and stunning winter lighting. Deep soft snow, hard work going up Meall na Leitreach but a tracked ATV had been up the Sow so was able to follow the tracks for easier progress! Saw lots of mountain hare and grouse. Brilliant winter walk with beautiful clear views and calm conditions at the tops :D
