Cooler and misty
30th December 2019
A gloomy day; on occasions the cloud base dropped to around 600 metres, rain and drizzle through the morning with rain turning to sleet at 900 metres for a while. Â Clearer through the afternoon. Â The mild temperatures and storm force winds over the last couple of days have stripped away a lot of the snow. Â Some of the main gully lines are becoming broken. Â A few climbers and mountaineers wandered into the corrie to have a look. Â Most people enjoyed the fresh air and walked out again.
A glimpse of Coire an Lochain before the cloud base dropped.
Sneachda: Iceless Lochains, little snow remains below the buttresses.

Mess of Potage seen through the gloom.
What remains of the Cas Head wall; the photo below was taken exactly a year ago.
