SSS... stunning sunny Saturday

Another stunning winters day and the start of a new Winter Skills and Winter Mountaineering course.

Today we looked at self belays, ice axe arrests, step kicking, footwork and balance techniques, pidgeon hole step cutting, cramponning and emergency snow shelters.

Similar weather for tomorrow with sun glasses and sunblock essential bits of winter kit!

Fi was nearby with her ladies Winter Skills group and spotted the same strange snow tracks we'd noticed on the walk out (apparently it was a Black Grouse that had landed and then took off!) More details here
