After a big snow dump over most of the country at the weekend, today looked a good bet for a walk now things have calmed down a little. It did not disappoint, what a day for a proper winter walk- there wasn’t a breath of wind and it was quite warm in the sunshine of the south facing slopes. Creeping cloud from the south did catch us up in the end but I love these sort of days where the sun is setting almost as soon as it has risen.


Almost at the top of the Walna Scar Road with the 'honeymoon couple' shelter (AW Dow Crag 4 - AKA the Angus Shelter for those that remember!)(.

Looking south to a wintry looking sky. Three photos from the same place, the weather on each one looks completely different.
