Jen, Rich and I were out for a New Year’s Day walk in the Cloich Hills south of Edinburgh today. It was a frosty sunny morning with light snow showers this afternoon falling and settling over about 500m on a northerly wind.

Hopefully conditions will conspire to allow us to get out and report on some winter climbing later in the week.
