As it was an absolutely stunning day, a trip onto Broad Cairn seemed like a great idea. I was out very early morning - not long after 7am - and the snow was perfectly firm after the cold, clear night. It didn't take long for the sun to warm everything up though and it quickly felt like being on a glacier in the alps!
At the risk of repeating myself, I have to say it again - skis would have been perfect for covering the terrain quickly today. The cover is fantastic and the snow would have made for memorable descents.

Glas-allt-Shiel looked beautiful in the early morning sun: If only they needed a live-in caretaker!
There's been a little bit of snow forecast for the next period but it isn't expected to be significant and the winds will continue to be light. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.....
