The backcountry
31st January 2015
The A86 first thing: in police parlance, “passable with care”.
A86: Just one of several motorists who launched themselves into the scenery this morning.
Looking south from Creag Tharsuinn this afternoon. The mountains are boiling with spindrift.
“Driving” on the way home. The A86 is under there somewhere…..
Even the snowplough couldn’t stay on the road this afternoon.
Backcountry mountain sport limited because access to the backcountry is limited. Says it all about our neck of the woods, really.
Observations very difficult indeed today due to the depth of the snow and the all enveloping snowy maelstrom. Little improvement expected overnight, though wind and snow showers expected to ease during Sunday.
If you manage to get to our part of the world tomorrow you’ll need to exercise great care out there in the backcountry.
