Snow, ice and my crazy descend from Meall nan Tarmachan

[Petr Dakota]

Love your sunset pic.... but rather you than me on that descent!

Thanks better to continue just finish the ridge without trying to connect any more hills in this snowy conditions, especially when the weather changes and the visibility is too poor then

Mountains and the weather are still giving us great lessons.......but I was set on my mode as the photo below shows:

Pretty gripping story there, Petr. When one reflects that this is probably a 2.5 hour walk up and down in good non-snow conditions, it just highlights the challenges of winter walking!!

Very glad you got back safely!

Thanks Alt I was glad too felt much safer in the bottom near the dam after the shady descending, did not mind the deep snow then on the bottom

Tough conditions, the continuous walking in snow between ankles and knees is tiring as I found out last week and turned back. Nice sunset photo and is that anew car park , I'v never seen it before.

Thanks Tomsie Sorry to hear you turned back , the conditions in some places are really very bad Now it's also about to get to the start point in the mountains: flooding, snow or ice...

It looks like a new car park there, it belong to short @ 1 km circle - visit point "Kiltyrie Hidden History Park" ...still far a way from the usual start point with the Ben Lawers car park, but I was grateful for this one in the time...
