A Bright Start

8th February 2016

Drizzly rain and light snow from the north west arrived soon after daybreak. Not as much snow fell overnight as expected. The freezing level rose to the summits during the day. Colder tomorrow.

At this altitude and exposure the ground vegetation is very delicate and will take a long time to recover. These tracks were not here a few years ago. Do they continue to the summit of Toman Coinnich 935m?
