Bynack More.

LONG walk in - very pretty tho!
I made an attempt on this a few weeks ago, but turned back due to snow conditions only about 1000m up the hill past the stable bridge (no actual stable!)- twas outrageous lower down the hill, and the top was *deep* in the white stuff.

Was up Creag Meagaidh at New Year - danced on the top lochan before going up the snow bank to the window... it was frozen absolutely solid - at least 8 inches deep. Peaple were partying on the ice.

Hmm, yer making me think twice about Bynack More.
I'll see how the weather pans out tomorrow and on Monday.

Thanks for the heads up re : Meagaidh - can't wait to do that route.

Chris Townsend was up Bynack More this week - see his blog http://christownsendoutdoors.blogspot.com/ - for a bit more feedback on the snow conditions. It's a good hill and not one of the trickier ones in winter usually

Thanks Paul.
I see the Cairngorms ski area is shut due to high winds.
I'll try A Bhuidheaneach Beag tomorrow before the 'Meagaidh 3' on Tuesday and see how Bynack More pans out on Wed.

Isn't the best of weather though....

I didn't find Bynack More a long walk in for that area - I think most of the Cairngorm walks are pretty long really. It isn't one of the longest ones. It was a very good track anyway and I would think it would make a nice winter walk in most conditions.
