Managed to wrestle the motor from the French woman and get a belated start to my day out in the Cairngorms. So late that the only parking ...on a Friday!....was at Coire na Ciste with a shuttle bus to get you to the Coire Cas starting point. There had been some fresh snow overnight with slight snow fallling when I passed by the queue for the Poma uplift. The grey stuff didn't lift until I was at 1083 when it became a real pleasure to be high up.....apart from the trail blazing

... but then is it not good for the legs?

Sgor an Lochan Uaine and Cairn Toul from the higher ground above .1083.

The big Braeriach corries

Hardly a footfall anywhere

The high point on Ben Macdui with the cairn area nearly under the snowfall.

I am not alone on the big plateau.

My sole meeting that day on the plateau with the Braeriach coires behind.

A last look at Beinn Mheadhoin from .1141.

Makes wading up thru the "grey stuff" worthwhile! What a fantastic day out you have had. One for the memory cells to store for later years, no doubt. Happy days...
