Clear skies were forecast in Dumfries and Galloway. I decided to walk up Cairnsmore of Fleet, the most southerly Graham. I followed the WH route. Paths were clear till summit plateau where I was able to follow a line of cairns through snowy ground. Wonderful views. Easy walking. Snow higher up but patchy and I didnt need my crampons. A lovely day.
