Lochnagar

  • Good Friday but became increasingly damp. Met three wise men (you know who you are) paying their dues for good days past & future. A little more visibility into the coire.

Deep snow & Rescue

  • Deep snow are probably what caused this group to require a rescue. Thanks to RAF Rescue and Braemar Mountain Rescue team for rescuing the group who were storm bound near Derry Cairngorm. We are very fortunate to have this service.

250 years

  • This photo shows about 250 years, give or take a decade or so, of avalanche experience. Scotlands first avalanche forecasters were probably game keepers advising hill walkers about conditions. We had an intersting recorded conversation about avalanches and experience going back a long while. It's good to remember and learn from those who went in earlier days. Thanks gentlemen.
