A quick nip up Ben Sgulaird, my local Munro, taking advantage of some gorgeous winter weather. 937m, 2.5hrs up, 10 minutes down
Final summit ridge of Sguilaird, with footsteps - you mean I don't have the mountain to myself? Tsk
Footstep makers at the rimed summit cairn. English folk, from Bath
Looking towards the big hills of Glencoe - also a tempting hike and fly spot in these conditions
Ben Nevis on the horizon. I did think about that today, but as it's Sunday it will probably be mobbed
Zero wind at the summit - not a breath - and a lovely snowy takeoff bowl
15 minutes later, back at the car. The fields are super-boggy, so it's easier to just stuff the glider in the boot and pack it at home
Not very local, but a quick trip down to the Lakes, staying in one of these miners' cottages at Glenridding
After an aborted attempt at Helvellyn (clagged in), we opted for something lower the next day ... with a pub at the end of the rainbow
Sunshine and big black clouds. Looking back on our steep snowy traverse
