Glencoe Ski munros


Today the weather was aweful! very strong winds again from the south with rain on the lower slopes and sleety hail higher up. The temperature had risen and I had left it late to take on these conditions and head up in the hills. From the ski carpark I headed up under the lifts to Meall a Bhuiridh, 1108m, almost walking into someone coming down as i could not see in the direction i was going for the conditions. I continued round the horseshoe to Creise, 1100m, battling against the full force of the wind in poor visability. Not even my jacket hood could damped the force at which the hail was hitting me which really hurt :( I managed a qhick photo in the wet and headed back to the car.
