I'll swap you the wind & round tops for a couple of your pointy snowy ones above the pine woods, but you can keep the brown bears. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Very nice jonny - it was windy down here so must've been a lot worse up there with no shelter - glad your chases were successful 8) Was up there not that long ago going anti-clockwise and also didn't know there was a bridge until a work colleague told me about it - had a look on geograph.co.uk and there's a picture of it along with another picture showing a stone arrow pointing to it :roll: - didn't see that either though - cheers :)

That looks like a good mountain walk to choose considering the conditions, Jonny.

Looks like a nice fresh day , I like the photo ' Summit Carn Dearg' with the 2 ton rock on top of your poles to stop them blowing away . I wonder do our younger viewers know who Windy Miller is ?
