How brilliant to look through your pics and see it improving moment by moment. You must have walked at a cracking pace there.

I'm pleased to see some images of what is left of winter :( on the western side of the Cairngorms...I didn't even have my camera out of the rucksack. There seems to have been a few folks out into the great moss over the week-end....from reading the various reports around. We were out over the moss on Sunday in poor light and all was very gloomy. The burns either side of Tom Dubh were raging torrents and the remaining snow cover fast retreating. Just snow patches around on the area between Cairn toul and Devils point. Returned via the lochs Stuirteag and Cnapan, where a few wet stream crossing were the only option, to pick up the estate track out to Garbhlach. :D
