Crackin’ Day!

8th January 2016

Beautiful day with fantastic sharp views. Most of the snow is cosmetic with heavy riming from the previous days cold, windy and cloudy conditions. A bit of warmth in the sun causing the rime to fall off the rocks later in the day. Great to be up high with comfortable walking conditions. Frost remained in the glens all day.

      Jeni has asked to tell you that I’m using her old steam driven Pentax PnP – and I have to look after it!
