I've been about and about a few times in winter this year, these ones are of the Lairig Leacach in February, it took 3 hours to reach the bothy where normally it takes half that in more reasonable conditions. This was the deepest snow I've encountered for a while, all stream, rivers, and even small gorges were lost underneath it.

OK so we weren't camping, but in conditions like this, a bothy is the place to be - especially since we lugged a bag of coal up

Melting snow by the fire. This made the additional 10kg of coal worth the effort.

This is my mate and forum member Chomp leading the way and often finding himself waist deep in snow!

Excellent stuff, thanks for sharing it. Lugging 10kg of coal as well as your gear is good going . I bet it made the fire all the more enjoyable

If you fancy writing more about it it would be a great one for the Out and About forums....

Thanks Tony, I actually do a blog, simply as a hobby, to remember my trips. I would be happy to share the text and pictures here as advised! I will dig it out and post it
