Constant snow and resultant whiteout over several hours tomorrow across the Pennines, Southern Uplands and Highlands where snow will fall into the glens. Upland gales and hail/snow showers, isolated thunder, across Wales will edge into N England and SW Scotland in the afternoon.

Nice climbing on Daim Buttress on the West Face of Aonach Mor with Neil today. This route sees far less attention than it deserves and is as good as Castle Ridge, if not better. westcoast-mountainguides.co.uk/plenty-of-good… Lowe Alpine The AMI #scotwinter Troll Climbing

The day started off nicely, but deteriorated far more than the forecasts suggested. Still, that didn't stop Neil and I enjoying North Buttress on Buachaille Etive Mor. westcoast-mountainguides.co.uk/nice-start-wil… Lowe Alpine The AMI #scotwinter Troll Climbing #glencoe Scottish Winter

Blair and I enjoyed the East Ridge of Beinn a'Chaorainn, which with all the snow, felt Himalayan in character today. Plenty of snow being transported throughout the day! westcoast-mountainguides.co.uk/beinn-achaorai… Lowe Alpine The AMI #scotwinter Troll Climbing #Munros

I only went out for a gentle run this morning, but found myself heading up towards the CIC Hut, then up Ledge Route, then to the summit of Ben Nevis, then over the CMD Arete before heading back home. Funny how some… instagram.com/p/CBjTokTDaP7/…
