April and time to get back to the hills, Schiehallion was the hill of choice for this fine April day although on the ascent we did get four seasons in one day, sun, rain, snow and wind but it was still clear for some great views all round.
still plenty of snow around.
once at the top quick stop for photos and lunch, cup of tea needed, very cold on hands.
as you can see from photo very busy today.
a speed march to begin with on the way down to get warmed up again, then a pleasent stroll down in great weather.
Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.
