And next... Cairn Gorm! |
|
|
|
We drove from Fort William to Aviemore and found a perfect B&B that seemed to cater especially for climbers and skiers, eg. they had a large drying room and a big heated towel rail in the room. :) After a substantial breakfast (minus the black pudding urg), we put on all our winter woolies and ventured out to Cairn Gorm... |

Unlike Ben Nevis, Cairn Gorm had snow all the way from the bottom to the top! |
|
After a few wrong turns and a bit of a whiteout, we finally reach the summit, yay!! |

|
I think my thermometer got to about -10, I have frozen hair to prove it! |
|
The summit! Cannot beleive there was not a bit of wind! The report in the morning said there were 100mph winds up there! We got lucky! |

I wrote my name in the snow to prove I was here :) |

After reaching the bottom of Cairn Gorm, about 5pm, the most beautiful sky. |

After a 10 hour drive overnight, back home... sunshine!!! |
