The Fannichs
18th February 2026
A journey to the East side of the Torridon area today, the Fannich hills.
There are still deposits of recent windslab on North-East through to South-East aspects, from the snowfall that came in a couple of days ago on North westerly winds. This is now being re-distributed back over, onto West to Northerly aspects by the strong to gale force South Easterly winds. See the forecast for more detail.
