The return

We climbed the Corbett Mam Na Gualainn on the North side of Loch Leven the day before. And from this summit top we could see that the snow line was just above the 700m mark on Garbh Bheinn.
With snow forecast the following day we fully expected the snow line to be well down.
Forecast was spot-on, we ended up walking in full winter conditions from 450m onwards, by the time we got back to the car the snow was falling heavily at ground level.
Really enjoyable day was had.

Good effort for the weather!
Poor Wilson looks as if he's been in a snowball fight.

Did Wilson have fun?

Poor Wilson looks as if he's been in a snowball fight.

sometimes he can nearly turn into a giant snow ball, we are constantly chipping the snow off his coat.

Did Wilson have fun?

Wilson the Beardie always enjoys his walks, especially the winter ones.
Jake the Border, well he also loves the hills.

thanks
