Meall Bhuide in the snow

For a nice change, didn't have to get up in darkness to do this hill, so a semi long lie in and a wee saunter up in the car meant myself and Joyce were at the start point just before 12noon. Met by a large number of deer mulling around, quick jump into the boot to get the camera and .....no SD card!...
