And so it begins for yet another season.
Good (ish) start but warm interlude to follow.
Look forward to future reports which include you unable to get past the railway sleepers.
Am considering giving full avalanche avoidance and mitigation advice that you can publish in a pamphlet. Any comment?

Hello again Stan,
I’m afraid we’re going to have to bring you up to date and spoil your fun somewhat.
We’ve been meaning to break it to you for sometime now – as our suspicion was, that your memory of the Coire Ardair walk-in still involved the divvy dancing routine of an accomplished ballet performer, over the dreaded ice covered railway sleepers.
‘Alas’ these were removed some years ago and our daily trudge is now without such joyous obstacles!!
I know …. we’ve all become too soft over the years!!
Hope your enjoy the winter.
Seasons greetings to you and yours Stan, from all of us here at SAIS, Creag Meagaidh 🙂
