Wintery
26th March 2026
After a bright start it soon clouded over and then the cloud base dropped to around 800 metres. There were fresh South-Westerly winds and occasional light snow showers on the mountains. The freezing level rose slowly through the day and will be above the summits this evening.
The old patchy snow has refrozen and there is a general covering of soft snow with windslab in a few sheltered locations above 700 metres.
I went up Creag Dhubh at the Eastern end of Beinn Eighe but the cloud beat me to the summit.
