Hi, I was up Beinn Narnain today and there was very little snow at all.

Ime looked fairly clear when not in the clag, some snow patches that I could see. I wanted to bag Ime as well but conditions were not great on Monday. Four seasons an hour. It was seriously windy and there was horizontal hail/spindrift above about 700 metres coming at me from the direction of Ime. Discretion won out.
Next day in Glenshee was still and sunny of course....

I was on An Caisteal yesterday and looking over to Arrochar it looks quite snow free.

Was up the Cobbler this morning, very little snow on the Arrochar Alps.

Cheers folks! For what it's worth to anyone else considering going to the Arrochar area, it was largely snow free yesterday.

Possibly a stupid question, but how is the snow up there currently? Still pretty extensive I'm guessing...

I was hoping to head up at the end of the month for a few days.

Cheers,
OB
