The Sgor Buidhe circuit was todays target. Very nice walk when the higher hills are off limits (I'll leave the tougher snow stuff to the experts :wink: ). There was snow of course, but just a little bit so lots of fun for Moss without it posing any real difficulty. On the open moorland it started snowing and that resulted in some mad snow zoomies. Sadly it meant no views too. Throughout the walk was on clear tracks with footprints in the snow making the route finding even easier, though these tracks mostly disappeared once away from the forest. Very nice winter walk.

No idea why Moss decided to pose like that!
