Friday night in the bunkhouse - high spirits, plans made, but will they feel the same in the morning?

A good selection of drink takes a hammering

A few grey faces as we start the day at 9.00 a.m. - Creag Meagaidh, 3,700 feet in the background, with cloud well down

Peppered Vodka mixed with five different malts is just what you need before a 9 hour day on the hill - lets rehydrate

A hard pull up from the col onto the plateau

Pulling up onto the plateau - avalanche condition is severe with fresh snow on frozen ground

Summit cairn - well done to Dave and his map reading - he is looking rather proud of himself and justly so. No time to eat or drink, the weather conditions are becoming extreme and we nee to get off quickly. 

Looks like due east boys.

Our intrepid lone walker who we bumped into on the plateau - a compass with more air than fluid was making his navigation work a little harder - not a place to be on your own with a dodgy compass 

Big Rob makes a good windbreak

Wait for me - there is only one way off and I have not got the map

Regrouping is the name of the game

Ken takes on fluid and grateful that he has some goggles 

Now well down the mountain with the lochan down in the valley below

The only bit of clear sky we got all day

The next bizzard wips in before I can even put the camera away

Wait for me - there is only one way off and I have not got the map!

A few tired faces and even more tired legs. 

Saturday night in the bunkhouse - high spirits?  plans made?  but will they feel the same in the morning?

Pleased to be back in the bunkhouse - Ken Bling
