Creag MacRainich - a nice wee pad, I told Shaz. Great starting point of 300m so only another 510m of ascent from the layby at the head of Glen Ogle. And indeed, it was easy-going until we started heading up through the crags, which has seen recent mini-avalanches. We treaded carefully but Shaz was a little spooked so after we eventually tagged the summit and retreated in the snow, we chose another route which involved post-holing and tweaked knees. Shaz described a leafy, crisp day oiut but the hills had other ideas. We returned to the car, chastened by our 'short' day out but it was fine to get out and 'chill'. We had magnificent views across to Ben Vorlich and Stuc a Chroin, which had a mass of snow. When will Winter ever end?
