That sounds absolutely perfect!

As long as someone knows where you are going, and you stick to your planned route you should be fine. There are pretty major paths leading to the summit, and Im sure you will stay within your own limits.

Please post some pictures when you return!

Im going with SWMBO, im currently sat on the sofa like a small child waiting for christmas, whilst she diggs out her ski wear. Thanks for the concerns about safety, but i feel like the beacon pathways are engraved on my brain from all the times iv been up there with dad (serviceman showing off with his bergan).
The family are notified of where im going and i will stick to the pathways

pointless update without pics im sorry. had a great day, the combination of cold temperatures and high altitude made it nigh-on impossible to start a fire, but i managed a brew and food. if anybody knows the area, the parking situation was non existant, it was rammo!! and very busy on the summits. need to dig out the camera lead now
