Route Map
Well, what a difference a few days make!
The extreme weather of last Friday seems like a distant memory now as
the sky was clear blue and the sunshine was warm today. The snow lingers
on, still knee deep in places, but quite soft and slowly melting away. I
wished I could have been out longer in these perfect conditions; the
views were magnificent.
