Cairngorms and Glen Nevis (pic heavy)

[Intertidal]

OK, I think I’ve now sussed the photo posting!
I really enjoy looking at other folks trips, so I thought its about time to share one of ours. Sorry they’re not recent pictures, but with the return of winter, I thought I’d put up a few pix of a trip to Scotland at Easter this year, focussing on the Cairngorms and Glen Nevis.
Apologies to those who visit the BCL forum cos I posted there a couple days ago

Cairngorms……

Our objective – the Northern Corries and Cairngorm itself

Starting point, the Coire Cas ski centre

Snow Bunting on the walk in

Our route ahead – Fiacaill Ridge an easy winter climb

SWMBO ready to get roped up

Looking back at Fiacaill Ridge from the East

Sastrugi (snow tongues) on the plateau

Looking back along our route so far

And the way ahead

Cairngorm summit with the automatic weather station

Glen Nevis……….

Heading up the lower glen

A handsome chap

Woodpecker hole in a Scots Pine

An Gearanach and Steall Falls

Upper Glen Nevis

We were amazed to find loads of frogs laying spawn just below the snow line

Thanks for looking

Ooh northern corries - likewise my winter traipsing ground! Very appropriate for this time of year and nice pics! With this weather should be some good climbing within a few days I would imagine

These are excellant photos.

I know both of these areas well and the photos make me think it's been too long since I've been back.
Need to do something about that.

Great photos, thank you for sharing them. Good thing that weather station it automatic...how would you like to work there all winter?

Have often spent nights by the old observatory on ben nevis and wondered the same. Was nothing automatic about that!!
