Great photos of what sounds an enjoyable walk. I used to organise cottages and the like for winter walking with some friends but that only lasted six years and then turned into summer trips but only for a few more years. Could continue in theory I suppose.

Some dramatic photos there. Been down Forcan ridge on a windy summer's day which I thought was tricky enough so I can imagine it wouldn't be very easy in winter. I seem to recall having to use friction a lot but obviously different tactics needed if there's snow and ice.

That does look a good alternative and would have caught the early light nicely. There was a lot of pre-dawn fog in the glen so I suspect I missed out there but I would have been wary of the burn crossing. Don't tell me, it was just a an easy to step over narrow burn. Good views of the crags there to...

It was a cracking day to be up there, the views were fantastic, I'm pretty sure I saw your footprints in the snow at Uinneag Coire an Lochain Yes, could well have been my footprints as I didn't see any others following the corrie edge. I did see a route similar to yours in another WH report. That m...

A good choice of walk for winter, as it stands singly Some great photos there. "Plenty to admire in the distance' could be Antarctica! I just pick easy walks for this time of year and to protect my ankle but I see what you mean -location-wise it is almost bound to be a good viewpoint for the s...

Ah yes, going for a walk! http...

Great stuff. Sgurr nan Clach Geala was looking mighty fine from where I was. Wouldn't have fancied that wind later on though.

Superb morning photos, especially with how rough sounding you felt.

One of the finer winter walks in the lakes is the round of helvellyn either the short route of striding edge and squirrel edge 😻. Or extended if time. Then back for a pint near patterdale. Bit tricky if mounds of soft snow like a cornice trying get onto summit plateau off striding edge but such a w...

I was on the Fannichs that very day. We could have waved to each other (maybe being able to make out a microscopic dot in the snowscape!). the day did indeed start to reveal itself. Good visibility, thankfully, but the wind did get up very strongly. On my last ridge I was standing sideways. Also, t...

Stunning photos of some of Scotland's finest mountains. A great read too! - I especially liked "The day is starting to reveal itself, like a painting that develops and only finds its final form towards the end." I've often vaguely thought that about a hill day, especially in winter - but ...

Ohhh what a wonderful day you had. Love seeing pictures of the snow covered hills up north. Glad I am not the only one who manages to miss paths :lol: Yes, I probably need to leave a trail of crumbs or something. My excuse is that I was probably admiring the waterfalls in the other direction too mu...

That looked like a really good day. I was halfway through reading your report before I realised I'd actually climbed this hill myself - it took me till the first waterfall photo before it got a bit familiar :lol: I was planning to click on the hill title to see where it was as I thought I had never...

Easter Balloch looks quite remote on the map. I can imagine it being quite atmospheric with the cloud down and you've got a great photo there later on of the snow covered track beneath a clearing sky.

Excellent photos and descriptions.
I remember Sorley MacLean from his cameos on the Munro Show, maybe not what he should be remembered for which I see is more to do with the poetry and use of Gaelic language.
