Despite the date ( 13th ) and despite the bad weather conditions I decided to try to join 2 separate-individual routes which each one incl. 2 Munros and get 4 Munros together in one route in deep snow although it will mean some walk on the road A9 to get back to my car. My original plan for the day was Glenshee 4-6 Munros, but the road A93 was closed at snowgate :roll: ...so Drumochter was the plan B for me as I was ready and looking forward to spend all day in snowy hills :D :wink:
You can see all the pics and recorded video in the video below, just a few photos added here as I wanted make it as Video report :wink:
