Like the ploughed track photograph :) , lots of snow fallen. It looks like the snow was quite hard on top and that you were not sinking in too far, which would have helped. It looks COLD though!

Excellent pics! Is the mine still used? What was mined there?

Cheers fellas,Saturday was the best day weather wise i've had for a while,glad that track had been ploughed though :lol: The snow was mostly firm enough to make for good walking,would like to have known what the wind chill was though,must have been bitter on nearby Schiehallion :crazy:
