The last few days has seen the whole of the UK having a thaw. All of North Wales has melted away in the space of a few hours. Gone has the winter wonderland that we haven't seen since 14 years ago. I have now driven North to be based in the Eastern Highlands for the winter. I arrived on Wednesday to be confronted with metres of snow. I went out on Thursday onto
Meall a
Bhuachaille (north of
Glenmore Lodge). We had to use snow shoes to make progress once off the
Ryvoan bothy track. The thaw from the last few days has reduced snow cover and ice falls at low levels and will probably strip the back of the northern
coires and expose some rock! Lets hope for freezing level will drop back below 900m, which will firm up the snow pack, reduce the avalanche risk and make for some awesome climbing conditions.
